The five items found in the time capsule are: 1) a 1964 record by Nina Simone called “Wild is the Wind,” 2) A Time magazine from 1964, with a painting of the face of Lee Harvey Oswald on the cover and a banner saying: “The Warren Commission: No Conspiracy, Domestic or Foreign,” 3) a photograph of Lyndon Johnson and Mathilde Krim 4) the original Orville Nix film of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, and 5) the 1969 mugshot photograph of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, alleged assassin of Bobby Kennedy. The record by Nina Simone includes the song “Wild is the Wind,” which represents a powerful marriage between classical piano and blues/jazz. Nina’s rich vocals and deep voice give the song a melancholy that couples with resonating romanticism. It is just one song on the record; others are: “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair,” “Either Way I Lose,” and “Break Down and Let It All Out.” With this record Nina reflects a cultural shift in America at the 1960s, moving beyond the traditional parameters of life and music and embracing a new frontier. It also embraces some of the racial tension evident in the culture at the time and describes a soulful need for love in the community and love among people. When compared to the other artifacts in this time capsule, it represents a still, meaningful glance into a human heart that is beating and yearning for love while the world spins...
The Warren Commission has since been discredited, notably by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (JFK Assassination Records, 2016). The magazine plays up the story that Oswald acted alone and uses the Warren Commission (which was filled with persons who had a clear conflict of interest in the investigation—such as fired CIA Director Alan Dulles). This artifact is important in defining the era of the 1960s because it focuses on probably the most significant event of the decade—the assassination of the President—and upholds the official narrative of “who did it”—namely that Oswald acted alone and was not in fact the “patsy” he claimed to be.
Among the ironies evident in the film, the hardest-working people in the community seemed to be the black women employed by white families. That obviously conflicts with some of the most common racist themes about African-Americans: that they are "lazy" or, in the vernacular of the era, "shiftless" (Healey, 2008). Racial bias was the societal norm in Mississippi in the 1960s; in fact, both stereotyping and prejudice were actually codified
Capsule from the 1960's Peers, colleagues, and supporters: this is one of what will presumably become several reports about this time capsule from the 1960s, nearly four centuries ago. I am honored and deeply intrigued by the items found within this time capsule. Hopefully, those of us who are aware of the time capsule will gain a deeper understanding of where humanity comes from, in which directions it might be

Ankh is one of the most familiar and one of the most mysterious Egyptian artifacts and hieroglyphs. The meaning of the ankh is associated in various ways with "life" and regeneration. There are numerous explanations of its meaning; for example, "The Egyptian ankh, 'oath,' means literally an 'utterance of life,' quite in the sense of the oath sworn by a genius." (Kristensen and Kraemer 428) In appearance the ankh resembles a
