Curatorial Note:

In addition to this 2000 oral history, Lee Cullum participated in a panel discussion, "The Great Society: A Community Conversation," held at The Sixth Floor Museum in conjunction with the Dallas Theater Center in 2018. That program may be viewed here: The Great Society: A Community Conversation - YouTube. Cullum, a longtime supporter of our institution, has also moderated Museum programs over the years, including notable conversations with broadcaster Chris Matthews in 2012 (Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero - A Conversation with Chris Matthews - YouTube) and author Stephen King in 2011 (A Conversation with Stephen King - YouTube). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
