The 1960 election, won by John F. Kennedy over then-Vice President Richard Nixon, was one of the closest and most contentious in American history. A key element was the Kennedy campaign's transformation of the "religion question" from a liability into an asset, and this will be the topic of a special program presented by the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum.
Panelists include:
• Shaun Casey, author of "The Making of a Catholic President" and professor of Christian Ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary
• John Seigenthaler, journalist, founder of the First Amendment Center and an assistant to Robert Kennedy during the 1960 campaign
• Sander Vanocur, award-winning network-television journalist who reported on the 1960 campaign and was among the panelists posing questions in the televised Nixon-Kennedy debates
The program will be moderated by Charles C. Haynes, director of the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum. A book signing will follow the program.
The event was introduced by Ken Paulson, President, Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
