BEFORE AND AFTER
PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S
ASSASSINATION:
===========================
I recently took note of the following beautiful color photograph,
which was taken at Love Field in Dallas on November 22, 1963, just
seconds before Jackie Kennedy was handed a bouquet of red roses by
Mrs. Earle Cabell (the wife of the Dallas mayor):
http://216.122.129.112/dc/user_files/9396.jpg
The above photo is one I had never seen until very recently....which
goes to illustrate the vast amount of material (photos, documents,
etc.) that is out there in the public domain that some people may not
have seen in the past -- even a person with a great interest in
looking at virtually everything connected with President John F.
Kennedy's assassination.
The picture above exhibits fabulous color, as can be seen. It is one
of a series of Love Field photos snapped by White House photographer
Cecil Stoughton on the day of JFK's death.
Here's another rarely-published color photo (taken by Stoughton) of
the Kennedys amongst the crowd at Love Field on November 22nd. JFK,
Jackie, and Secret Service man Clint Hill are clearly visible:

Tying in with the above photo, the audio link below provides access to
the last speech President Kennedy ever gave (at the Fort Worth
breakfast on 11/22/63). This is unedited footage of the speech (12
minutes in length):

This is a rare black-and-white picture showing JFK and Jackie greeting
the well-wishers at Love Field. The large size of the airport crowd is
clearly evident in this photo:

Here's a rarely-seen angle of the Kennedys deplaning at Love Field:

The above picture was taken by Robert Jackson of the Dallas Times
Herald. Jackson, just a short time after he took that photo, would be
one of the very few witnesses who would observe a rifle being
withdrawn into a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book
Depository within seconds of the last gunshot being fired at JFK in
Dealey Plaza. Jackson would also go on to earn a Pulitzer Prize for
his famous picture showing Jack Ruby murdering Lee Harvey Oswald.
Although certainly not a "rare" photo by any means, here is Jackson's
Prize-winning snapshot (complete, uncropped version):

Here's a really rare one -- an aerial view of the JFK limousine in the
Dallas motorcade on 11/22/63. Note that driver Bill Greer has his door
ajar for some reason (perhaps the car is completely stopped; it
stopped twice during the parade):

crowds that JFK and the First Lady encountered on November 22, 1963:

Main and Houston Streets in Dallas, with the Book Depository visible
in the background:

A few minutes after the President was shot, we see people rushing
toward the "Grassy Knoll" area. Visible in this photo are Charles
Brehm and Mary Moorman:

This one's a bit eerie -- Jackie has on the same pink suit she wore in
Dallas, minus the pillbox hat here. If it's not the same outfit, she
must have had two exactly alike. In addition to this picture, there's

There are a few new additions in there (which is the reason for the
updated thread). The 11/23 limo photos were added (which aren't 100%
rare, but maybe some people haven't seen them). And a couple new
photos of (gorgeous) Jackie O. are in there too. :) :)
Here's another pic of the limo (pre-Nov. 22nd) I had never seen. This
isn't included in my collection above, so I'll put it here.....
