One Afternoon in Downtown Dallas, Texas


This year marks the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Even today, X-marks the spot on Elm Street where the chief executive took that fatal shot to the head on November 22, 1963. Alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald is said to have fired upon the president’s motorcade from an open window on the sixth floor of the imposing Texas School Book Depository building in the background. Dealey Plaza’s Grassy Knoll is at left, while the Triple Underpass is out of view behind the photographer.
