Event Details

In this monthly seminar on American History, John Viteritti, a local retired professor, will discuss President Kennedy and the contrast between his handling of the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. This seminar will illustrate how Kennedy learned from the mistakes made during the Bay of Pigs and chose a more measured course of action during the Cuban Missile Crisis—one that ultimately helped avoid nuclear war with Russia
