JFK 50 YEARS
President Kennedy’s Assassination
Hear History Live As It Happened On This Date, 50 Years Ago
November 22, 1963
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, knew the state of Texas was critical for a win in the 1964 Presidential Election. Plans were made for a five-city tour of Texas beginning in San Antonio and ending in Austin in the fall of 1963. The trip also was an attempt to bridge several differences between Democrats who were more liberal and those more conservative. From San Antonio, the presidential party flew to Houston and then Fort Worth. It was in Fort Worth the president made his final recorded remarks hours before his death.
The trip to Dallas was the big one. The official White House touring car was waiting for the president at Love Field. The rain had cleared and the top was removed. The scheduled parade ended with Texas Governor John Connally's wife Nellie turning to the President and saying, "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you." Seconds later, gunfire cut down Camelot in full view of the public and several home movie cameras.
The President is dead.
