Michael L. Kurtz (born 1941 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American historian. A Southeastern Louisiana University professor emeritus of history, he is known for his research into the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in which Kurtz has generally supported a theory 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 federal district judge John R. Tunheim.[2]

Kurtz has published on other topics of American history,[3] notably the career of Louisiana Governor Earl Kemp Long, co-authored with the late professor Morgan D. Peoples of Louisiana Tech University.[4]

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.[5] He is married to the former Isabella Stoddard.[6] The couple has a son, Michael David Kurtz, an attorney,[7] and a daughter, Linda Suzanne Kurtz, a degree-holding registered nurse.[8]
