This guy just defended himself on politically motivated charges for essentially stealing the proverbial pencil at work, and is back in form.

Good on ya, Dr. Wecht!

and Duquesne University School of Law present

Making Sense of the Sixties

A National Symposium on the Assassinations
and Political Legacies of Martin Luther King Jr.,
Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy
Oct. 3-5, 2008


Power Center Ballroom


Duquesne University


Pittsburgh, PA



Forty years after the brutal and untimely deaths of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, and 45 years after the relatively better known assassination of President John F. Kennedy, questions still abound about the circumstances of their murders. Furthermore, amidst the current climate of political cynicism and apathy, historians and voters alike ponder what these men might have become, and what their political legacies are even today, on the cusp of another historic presidential election. From matters of ballistics and trajectories to questions of conspiracy and cover-up, these three cases present fascinating and important topics for students of all ages.

Following up on their historic 2003 conference on the JFK assassination, The Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law and Duquesne University School of Law are convening many of the top experts on these men and their murders for three days of presentations and panel discussions. Among the confirmed speakers to date are:
