As part of the “Four Days in November” program series to commemorate the 56th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented a lecture by Dr. Gene Riddle, a licensed clinical psychologist in California.

Dr. Riddle was in the fall term of his senior year at a county high school just outside of Washington D.C. at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Prior to entering the mental health profession, he taught political science at the University of Colorado, Denver. Riddle, who holds a 1997 PhD from the San Francisco campus of the Professional School of Psychology, became fascinated with the psyche of Lee Harvey Oswald and spent more than six years compiling an academic book-length study of him. He presented his research publicly for the first time at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

This lecture was presented at the Museum on November 20, 2019. The Q&A is moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.
