I post here only to introduce the topic, not moderate it nor lead it. But leadership will be required for, but not limited to: organizing online efforts, and a physical presence in Dallas on 11/22/2013.
This is the "spit-ballin'" phase. Put every idea you have here, no matter how trivial you might think it is, and let's see what comes out.
The KEY thing here is to talk about this now.
Mark,
Bill Kelly had made some inroads toward this. Have you been in touch with him, or he with you?
I don't know how far he has carried it, but he and I had some discussions about it, and what to use as a title.
I had made a few suggestions to Bill about having some sort of program (video, radio for oral reports, still photographs)
that could be broadcast on the internet, using the testimonies or public statements of witnesses, including living witnesses
reading their own statements, or using actors to read from the statements (or excerpts from them) of those witnesses
who have passed away. The witness statements could be organized according to timelines and locations (example:
pre-assassination, Dealey Plaza, post-assassination, autopsy, FBI, USSS, ARRB, Warren Commission Reports, Congressional
Committees - Pike, Church, HSCA, Readings from Books as resources, NARA II's JFK Collection). I envision it as a sort of
"You are there" program, as it happened through witnesses' eyes and ears.
