Title: Kennedy Assassination
1Tragedy in Dallas - Assassination
In the fall of 1963, public opinion polls showed
that Kennedy was losing popularity because of his
advocacy of civil rights. On November 22, 1963,
President and Mrs. Kennedy went to Texas to
mend political fences with members of the
states Democratic Party.
2Crowds lined the streets of Dallas to greet the
President. In front of them sat Texas Governor
John Connally and his wife Nellie.
3As the car approached a state building known as
the Texas State Book Depository, rifle shots rang
out.
4Kennedy was shot in the head. His car raced to a
nearby hospital, where doctors frantically
tried to revive him, but it was too late.
President Kennedy was dead.
5In 1963, the Warren Commission investigated and
concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had shot the
president while acting on his own.
6On Sunday, Nov. 24, as millions watched live
television coverage of Oswald being
transferred between jails, a nightclub
owner named Jack Ruby broke through the crowd and
shot and killed Oswald.
7- The Warren Commission
- Stated that Kennedy was killed by 3 shots fired
from the Texas School Book Depository Building.
This seemed pretty convincing, until the
appearance of the Zapruder Film. This source
gives the most graphic visual account of the
murder. It has also enabled sound analysts to
work out the timings of the shots. The appearance
of the Zapruder film called into question many of
the assumptions of the Warren Commission. What
were these, and, has the Zapruder film been
misinterpreted does it largely support the case
for a conspiracy, or, does it point to a lone
gunman? - The USA government, through the Warren
Commission, says JFK's assassination was planned
and carried out by one man, acting alone, who
fired three bullets of which the second one
missed and hit a curb, the third one fatally hit
JFK in the back of the head, and the first has
come to be known as The Magic Bullet.
