"Don't Know much about History" 1959 to 1962

Here is my current theme song: Don't much about history ... don't know much about the French I took...

The video below represents the period of time I am doing my Ph.D. research on: Catholicism from 1959 through the opening of Vatican II in October 1962 and the role of Castro and the Cuban revolution in influencing John XXIII and global Catholicism that they needed to come to terms with modernity. The main characters of this story? Fidel Castro, Pope John XXIII, John Kennedy, Nikita Kruschev...



...Cardenal Luis Concha Cordoba in Colombia, Cardenal Arteaga en Cuba, Archbiships Enrique Perez Serentes and others in Cuba... President Janio Quadros en Brasil was lurking in the background as was Vicepresident Joao Goulart. Enjoy Sam Cook's song and this historical video clips...
