An Untold Story from Recent American History

Praise from a Future Generation

Praise from a Future Generation, by John Kelin, is an homage to the "first generation" critics of the Warren Report—the official explanation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

In September 1964, The Warren Commission completed a ten-month investigation into President Kennedy's assassination with the publication of a single-volume report. Their conclusion: there had been no conspiracy, foreign or domestic. The murder of JFK was committed by Lee Harvey Oswald, alone and unaided.

The Hearigns and Exhibits

Two months later, a 26-volume set of Hearings and Exhibits (left) was published, from which the single-volume report was ostensibly derived. These 26 volumes became the focus of intensive study by a handful of self-selected American citizens. They found countless omissions and distortions within this official record.

There was more: some of these citizens traveled to Dallas to get their own first-hand accounts of what had happened. They learned shocking new details, and uncovered a frigthtening pattern of intimidation and fear.

All of the critics reached an inescapable conclusion: there had been a conspiracy. Praise from a Future Generation recounts the efforts of these critics to be heard, and documents the ominous indications that an unseen opponent was reacting to their work.
