On September 14, 1901, an anarchist’s bullet felled a popular leader and unwittingly ushered in a completely new American era. President William McKinley died from a gunshot wound he received in Buffalo, New York and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office to become President of the United States. Who were these men and who was the man that caused such a momentous change in American destiny? Meet at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Contact Michael Kelly at 202-359-2662.
