5 Pieces

These five short segments are standalone companion pieces to the hour-long documentary, "We Knew JFK: Unheard Stories from the Kennedy Archives" (http://www.prx.org/pieces/103694). As with the hour, the segments are narrated by renowned journalist Robert MacNeil, who covered Kennedy for NBC News, and was in the motorcade in Dallas. The companion pieces are also mined from the same rich vein of first person recordings — the extraordinary Oral History collection housed at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
