Friday, September 20 | 1:00 p.m. | Free with Museum Admission

Join Museum Curator Stephen Fagin the final Two Days in Texas Living History program featuring Rawlins Gilliland Friday, September 20 at 1:00 p.m. A National Endowment for the Arts master poet and longtime radio commentator, Gilliland is the son of political and civil rights activists in Dallas. He saw President and Mrs. Kennedy three times on November 22, 1963: at Dallas Love Field, on Lemmon Avenue and on Main Street less than ninety seconds before the assassination.  Included with Museum admission.

Be sure to visit the seventh floor of the Museum, where the special exhibition Two Days in Texas is on display. Experience the story of President John F. Kennedy’s two-day trip through Texas with rarely seen objects and eyewitness interviews from each city the president visited, including Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Dallas. Each Friday during the exhibitions run, Museum staff host a special gallery talk at 1:00 p.m., offering an in-depth look beyond the exhibition.

You can view past Living History programs related to the special exhibition on the Museum’s YouTube channel.
