The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview with Tracy Rowlett as a Living History education program, connected online via Distance Learning to several schools and senior centers as part of a special Veteran’s Day presentation. Rowlett was an award-winning Dallas/Fort Worth broadcast journalist for more than twenty-five years, working at ABC affiliate WFAA-TV (1974-99) and CBS affiliate KTVT-TV (2000-08). As a broadcaster for Armed Forces Radio and Television in Tripoli, Libya, in 1963, Rowlett broke news of the assassination in that part of the Middle East and continued reporting through President Kennedy’s funeral three days later. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.
