Shenon is the author of “A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination." In his visit to Sarah Lawrence, he will talk about his research and his unprecedented access to surviving Warren Commission staff members and other key players that contributed to his quest to uncover the mysteries of one of this country’s darkest days.

The lecture, to be held in the Donnelley Lecture Hall in the Heimbold Visual Arts Center, is free and open to the public. Shuttle service will be available from the college’s parking lots.
