JFK Lancer's goal is to make the research materials concerning President Kennedy's assassination easily available to everyone. Our prime concern is the accuracy of history and the true story of the turbulent 1960s. Income from our conferences, book sales, and material sales goes right back to the research community through our publishing services, website resources, conferences, scholarships, and research material donations.
