We Knew JFK

AP

Tuesday, November 18th, 2 p.m. and Thursday, November 21st, 10 p.m.  This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination. We Knew JFK: Unheard Stories From The Kennedy Archives, is a radio documentary in oral history form, built around the recorded recollections of people who knew Jack Kennedy personally. 

These recordings were made shortly after the assassination, and many have never been broadcast before.  You'll  hear his confidants struggle with their grief as they recount their personal remembrances of Kennedy as a man, a president and a father. We Knew JFK is hosted by journalist Robert MacNeil.  Listen Monday afternoon at 2 and Thursday night at 10.

You can hear the documentary online at WeKnewJFK.org.
