Event Details

Honor the 60th Anniversary of President Kennedy's death by hearing a powerful conversation between two Presidential widows: Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Kennedy!

If Mary Todd Lincoln and Jacqueline Kennedy met, what would they discuss? Listen as Laura Keyes and Leslie Goddard bring Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Kennedy to life in an imagined meeting of these two powerful women at the Smithsonian Museum’s First Ladies exhibition. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Kennedy reminisce about living in the White House, negotiating the role of First Lady, and the challenges they endured after their husbands’ deaths.

A virtual living history presentation by Laura Keyes (Mary Lincoln) and Leslie Goddard (Jackie Kennedy). Together, Laura and Leslie have seven college degrees and 35 years experience portraying Women from History.
