Kennedy Assassination Remembered

John F. Kennedy was murdered on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

No more than eight months later, we were there.

Dealey Plaza is bounded on the south, east, and north sides by 100+ foot (30+ m) tall buildings. One of those buildings is the former Texas School Book Depository building, from which, both the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded, Lee Harvey Oswald fired a rifle that killed President John F. Kennedy.



Not open to the public in 1964.

There is also a grassy knoll on the northwest side of the plaza, from which, the House Select Committee on Assassinations determined that there was "...a high probability” that a second assassin also fired at the President, but missed. At the plaza's west perimeter is a triple underpass beneath a railroad bridge, under which the motorcade raced after the shots were fired.

This Court building is one of the buildings surrounding Dealey Plaza and is where Lee Harvey Oswald was killed.
