Living History with Dr. Thomas McConnell

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview between Dr. Thomas McConnell, a physician who served as Medical Officer of the Day at the Pentagon on November 22, 1963, and Museum Associate Curator Stephen Fagin. Dr. McConnell was assigned duties at the White House, U.S. Capitol and Arlington National Cemetery during the weekend following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Dr. McConnell's book, "Dead Wrong: And Other Episodes from a Life in Medicine" (2011), chronicles his long career as a physician from a trainee at Dallas' Parkland Hospital to his service in Jackson, Mississippi in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement and beyond.

This presentation took place at the Museum on August 24, 2013 as part of the 50th anniversary Living History Series.
