The assassination of J.F.K.
The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a cruel and shocking act of violence directed against a man, a family and all of mankind. This young vigorous leader was the victim of the fourth presidential assassination in the history of a country. Although Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with this hideous crime, the case remains a mystery to this day. Was there a conspiracy? And if there was, did it include Oswald? On Friday, November 22, 1963, President Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy, and their party arrived in Dallas, Texas. Accompanying the president were Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and John B. Connally, Jr., Governor of Texas. The purpose of this trip was to evoke a demonstration of the President's personal popularity in a city which he had lost in the 1960 election. The motorcade left Love Field shortly after 11:50 a.m., and proceeded through residential neighborhoods until it reached Elm Street, the host of a seven story "Texas Book Depository". As the open top limousine passed through the crowded street, shots resounded in rapid succession. President Kennedy had been killed. No one actually knows who committed this crime but there are many theories attempting an explanation. Lee Harvey Oswald is at the center
The Grassy Knoll Theory has become extremely popular. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) formally concluded that at least one shot was fired at President Kennedy from the grassy knoll. The grassy knoll was to the right front of the limousine during the shooting. assassination, regardless of whether you consider him the lone gunman, a Another of the more popular theories is the single bullit theory. Skeptics say it would be impossible for this theory to work. Conspiracy authors always show Connally seated directly in front of Kennedy, at the same height, and facing forward. If this theory were true, the bullet would have struck Kennedy at the base of the neck exited his throat and went on to strike Governor Connally near his right armpit. Photos from that fateful day prove that this was not true. Numerous photos of the motorcade show Connally well inboard of Kennedy in the limo, making this theory impossible.
