The 35th President Of The United States, John F. Kennedy’s murder shook the nation and the world. He was shot to death (November 22, 1963) during a midday motorcade in Dallas, Texas.
The Sixth Floor Museum of Dallas released a newly found 8mm clip of President John F. Kennedy before he was murdered.
The president’s coat is clearly if briefly seen bunched up on his back. Kennedy’s jacket was riding high on his back, bullet wounds on his jacket and body did not appear to match.
This newly-discovered home movie of the fateful Kennedy motorcade was recently donated to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza by amateur photographer George Jefferies and his son-in-law, Wayne Graham. The clip was released to coincide with the Presidents Day federal holiday.
The photographer, George Jefferies, filmed President and Mrs. Kennedy on Main Street at Lamar in downtown Dallas less than 90 seconds before the assassination.
Museum guardian Gary Mack said that he was not astonished that Jefferies took so long to come forward. He said,
Everyone who captured the motorcade before the assassination thinks their pictures are unimportant. But to historians, all photos and home movies are important to possibly answer questions that will be asked in the future.
