Single Bullet

A multidisciplinary team of Philadelphia University students, faculty and staff conceived of, designed, fabricated and installed an exhibition to showcase Senator Arlen Specter’s seminal role in the Warren Commission investigation of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The exhibition coincided with the 50th anniversary of the J.F.K. assassination and depicts Specter’s selection, participation, and unique contributions to the Warren Commission’s activities and final report, with special focus on the “single bullet theory or conclusion,” and associated long-term controversy.
