Curatorial Note:

This oral history with Dr. Robert Breen is notable as the first interview recorded in the Museum's Media Room, a studio-style recording space on the ground floor of the former Texas School Book Depository building. Since this initial interview in June 2010, the black curtains of the Museum's Media Room have served as the backdrop for several hundred oral histories. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
