Image of the Secret Service reenactment of the assassination in Dealey Plaza

Original 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. Taken on the afternoon of November 27, 1963, this image shows the first Secret Service reenactment of the assassination of President Kennedy. A light colored convertible, intended to represent the presidential limousine, has passed the Texas School Book Depository as it travels down Elm Street, escorted by police motorcycles. The agents in the car, two of whom hold cameras, look back toward the Book Depository. Onlookers line both sides of Elm Street to watch the reenactment; memorial flower arrangements are visible on the grass on both sides of the street.
