Where were you when you first learned about President Kennedy's assassination?  How did you hear about it? Did it effect you?  How do you view Kennedy's presidency half-a-century later? These are some of the questions we're asking in this week's show. 

Our guests for this discussion of JFK's Legacy in Kentucky:  Carolyn Dupont, assistant professor of History at Eastern Kentucky University; Jonathan Miller, attorney at Frost, Brown, Todd in Lexington; John J. Johnson, Executive Director of the KY Human Rights Commission.
