Join us as we examine the events of November 22, 1963, and the days that followed. We’ll explore questions surrounding standard investigative procedures, review two subsequent investigations, and examine why many Americans continue to question the findings of the Warren Commission.

The class will also consider evidence involving key witnesses, film footage, police radio communications, acoustical analysis, and forensic findings that have fueled theories of multiple shooters. Roger Peterson brings a unique perspective to the discussion, having personally met and spoken with several people who witnessed the assassination.

Come explore the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the investigations that continue to shape the debate surrounding one of the most controversial events in American history.

We will travel by Sierra College bus or private auto to visit the National Historic District of Locke in Sacramento County with OLLI Instructor Terry McAteer. Locke was located near the junction of the Southern Pacific and Sacramento Valley railroads and brought thousands of Chinese to the area. These laborers worked on the farms, the rails and built our huge system of levies. At one point, Locke had five gambling halls, five brothels, speakeasies and many opium dens. We will be provided with a walking tour of the town, dine at a local historic eatery and visit a nearby small winery for a private tasting. Lunch and wine tasting included. Limited to 35 in bus and 35 in private auto.
