Title: Kennedy Assassination


1
Tragedy 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.
2
Crowds lined the streets of Dallas to greet the
President. In front of them sat Texas Governor
John Connally and his wife Nellie.
3
As the car approached a state building known as
the Texas State Book Depository, rifle shots rang
out.
4
Kennedy 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.
5
In 1963, the Warren Commission investigated and
concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had shot the
president while acting on his own.
6
On 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.

  • 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.
