The Amherst Association of Colorado has arranged to co-host this one-hour documentary screening about the speech President Kennedy delivered at Amherst College 27 days before his assassination.
JFK The Last Speech explores the dramatic relationship between two seminal Americans—President John F. Kennedy and the poet Robert Frost—which reached its tragic climax in a surprising encounter with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War. Born out of these events is Kennedy’s remarkable speech about poetry and power, which alters the life course of a group of Amherst College classmates who witness this compelling address and continue to exemplify in their contemporary lives a portrait of challenges facing America.
Post-film discussion with executive producer and Boulder resident, Neil Bicknell ’64, and Roger Mills ’64. Neil and Roger are both co-editors of the companion book, which will be available for purchase at the event. Reception will follow.
Questions? Please contact Neil Bicknell '64 at ncbicknell@bicknellgroup.com.
