Michael L. Kurtz (born August 26, 1941 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a professor emeritus of history at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. He is known for his research into the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in which he has concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone.[1]

In 1995, Kurtz testified on the Kennedy assassination before the Assassination Records Review Board chaired by U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim.[2]

Kurtz has published on other topics of American history,[citation needed] notably the career of Louisiana Governor Earl Kemp Long, co-authored with the late professor of Louisiana Tech University.[3]

Kurtz received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New Orleans, a Master of Arts from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and a Ph.D. from Tulane University in New Orleans.[4] He is married to the former Isabella Stoddard.[5] The couple has a son, Michael David Kurtz, an attorney,[6] and a daughter, Linda Suzanne Kurtz, a degree-holding registered nurse.[7]
