Image of the Kennedys amidst a crowd at Love Field
Original 35mm color slide taken by amateur photographers Rudy and Vera Clauss showing the Kennedys greeting crowds at Love Field airport in Dallas, TX on November 22, 1963. Jacqueline Kennedy's iconic pink pillbox hat is barely visible through the crowd, while part of President Kennedy can be seen in the middle of the image, his face obscured by a nearby police officer. Air Force One is partially visible in the background, and several police officers and Secret Service agents can be seen guarding the President and Mrs. Kennedy.
