Sunday Morning Programs

Our Sunday morning programs alternate weekly between a guest speaker and one of our Community Days, which are designed to foster community engagement and social action. We’ll welcome a live audience in our auditorium, and also continue livestreaming our guest speakers to our YouTube channel. The Community Days will be in-person only.

There will be no Sunday morning program on May 25 or June 1.

John Ungashick

EHS member

“Kennedy vs. Nixon: the 1960 Presidential Election”

EHS member John Ungashick will examine the U.S. presidential election of 1960. He’ll discuss the early lives of candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, the primary campaigns leading up to the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions, and then the campaigns that culminated in Kennedy’s razor-thin victory on November 8, 1960. Kennedy’s tragic assassination in 1963 launched a vision of his administration as a golden age, or “Camelot,” that was cut short by his death.  John will share his theory on this myth and whether subsequent history would have been much different if Kennedy’s presidency had continued. 

While we welcome an open and respectful discussion about all topics of interest to Humanists and beyond,
the views of our speakers do not necessarily represent those of the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago.
