Toni Glover

In 1963, Toni Glover was an eleven-year-old who lived in Oak Cliff, Dallas, less than a mile from Lee Harvey Oswald. On the 22nd of November, she was standing on a cement pedestal opposite the Texas School Book Depository as Kennedy’s motorcade drove past her. What happened in the next few seconds would have a deep and lasting impact on her life. Toni earned her PhD. in English and Rhetoric at The University of Texas at Dallas. She now lives in Northeast Pennsylvania where she is an Associate Professor in English at the University of Scranton.
