The Umbrella Man

John Fea   |  November 22, 2013 Leave a Comment

I first saw this clip a few years ago and I have been using it to teach historical causation ever since.  In fact, this story is featured in the first chapter of my Why Study History?: Reflecting on the Importance of the Past.  I think it is fitting as we remember the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.
