Since 1989, the Museum has recorded over 1,500 oral history interviews, many with Dallas motorcade spectators. The institution's ongoing Oral History Project continues to seek recollections on the life, death, and legacy of President Kennedy. If you recognize anyone in this photograph, or if you or someone you know caught a glimpse of President Kennedy in Dallas, please contact the Museum. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
After recording an oral history in October 2012 about her memories of seeing the Kennedy motorcade on Main Street, Lisa Hembry found herself in this Dallas Times Herald photograph. A community leader who has served as president of the Dallas Historical Society (1999-2001) and Dallas County Treasurer (2002-06), Hembry was a student in Oak Cliff in 1963. Head turned to the left, Hembry is the first of a trio of African-American teenagers in the middle right of this photograph. She is standing immediately behind an African-American male wearing a dark jacket. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
This post-motorcade image, showing so many happy, smiling faces, was taken a minute or two before the assassination. - Gary Mack, Curator
This image shows the great diversity of the crowd that came out to greet President and Mrs. Kennedy in Dallas. Although Dallas was a segregated community, people of all races took the opportunity to come out and see the young president and his wife, and integrated well-wishers could be found all along the motorcade route. - Sharron Conrad, Associate Director of Education & Public Programs
