Image of John F. Kennedy waving to parade crowds in Dallas in 1960
Original 35mm color slide showing John F. Kennedy waving to parade crowds in downtown Dallas on September 13, 1960. The photographer stood on Akard Street near the northwest corner of its intersection with Jackson Street. The photo was taken looking east across Akard Street toward the Baker Hotel. Kennedy is very close to the photographer, blurry because of the moving car and his own movements. Behind him, a man with a home movie camera can be seen in the crowd.

This photo is one of a series believed to have been taken by Dallas resident Anita Hansen, who attended two parades in two days when presidential candidates Richard Nixon and John Kennedy both made campaign stops in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on September 12th and September 13th, 1960. Hansen photographed both parades. Some of her photos were shot on Kodak Ektachrome film which faded badly over the years. This digital scan of the original slide has been color corrected. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
