This week, the editor of the JFK Facts blog and author of the forthcoming Scorpions' Dance: The President, the Spymaster, and Watergate Jefferson Morley, joins Abby in the classroom to help explain the life and ultimately, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Jefferson sheds light on the day of President Kennedy's assassination and reflects on the global reactions to the murder of a sitting U.S. President. Later, Abby and Jefferson discuss key takeaways from this fatal failure of presidential security.
