It's hard to believe, but if JFK were still alive, he'd be in his 90s. His presidency would be a chapter long over, and the day of his assassination, a memory of just another motorcade ride in the 1960s. But, even though his life was cut short, his legacy wasn't. And Bill Lively, founding president and CEO of the Dallas Center for Performing Arts Foundation, celebrates that legacy with a special talk in honor of JFK's life. Bill Lively's lecture begins at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m., Thursday at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, 411 Elm St. Admission is free. Call 214-747-6660, ext. 5525, or email [email protected].
