A local historian will teach a special non-credit class this fall on the conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The course, “So Who Really Killed JFK?,” will be taught by former Mohawk Elementary School history teacher Frank Lorello.
The class will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 and 21 at the BC3@Lawrence Crossing campus in Union Township. The cost is $29.
The course description reads: “After 60 years, we still don’t know the truth behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This class will combine known facts with the many conspiracy theories that have surfaced over the years. We will discuss the Warren Commission’s findings as well. Participants will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions as well.
Lorello said he turned 11 years old the day Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1963, and has been fascinated with the incident and its findings ever since.
The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as the Warren Commission, declared on Sept. 24, 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the shooting, and was not part of a larger conspiracy.
However, many have cast doubts on the commission’s findings over the years. The class will explore the day of the shooting, the shooting and death of Oswald by Jack Ruby on Nov. 24, 1963, the commission report and findings and the studies and theories afterward.
One course the college recently started at its main campus that is highly relevant to youths today is as a social media influencer.
This course is 18 credits for one year, nine per semester, to earn a workplace certificate.
It allows students to learn basic social media marketing skills or upgrade their current skills in the social media marketing profession.
The first semester has classes on business ethics, computer ethics and marketing, while the second semester has classes on social media marketing, consumer behavior and introduction to business finances.
The college is in the planning stages of starting a specialized English course related to artificial intelligence and programs that use it like ChatGPT, according to BC3 media coordinator William Foley.
