Visit www.wmfe.org for more program information!
Baseball great Roberto Clemente’s talent and inimitable style drew legions of fans, but as this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE production reveals, he was more than an exceptional baseball player. He was also a committed humanitarian who challenged racial discrimination and worked for social justice. Through interviews with relatives, childhood friends, former teammates and journalists, this biography tells Clemente’s inspiring and tragic story, focusing on a man whose career sheds light on larger issues of immigration, civil rights and cultural change.

American Experience 36 years ago today, Jack Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas, on live television. With that, any hope of learning the truth from Oswald was gone, and this shocking turn of events spawned a web of conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination. Do you have a theory? What do you think would have happened if Oswald was tried?

I had the same experience- standing at the grassy knoll- and seeing the situation in person- rather than in a picture or on television. I think this is the biggest question of the 20th Century- perhaps of all time- who really killed President Kennedy-I don't believe Oswald acted alone.

Amor Mehta This is the best documentary series on television. What a wonderful overview of the civilian conservation corps. I wish we could have a program like that in this time of joblessness but unfortunately our congress is filled with a bunch of wimps and do-nothings!
