Curatorial Note:

The day before his 1960 Dallas/Fort Worth visit, Senator Kennedy made a major address to Greater Houston Ministerial Association at the Rice Hotel in Houston, Texas (the same hotel he would again visit on November 21, 1963, the day before the assassination). In his televised address on September 12, 1960, Kennedy directly confronted the "religious issue," pointed accusations that he would allow his Catholic faith to influence the execution of his responsibilities as president. His bold confrontation of this question made this one of the most important speeches of the 1960 campaign. He visited DFW the following day. - Stephen Fagin, Curator

Judge Sarah T. Hughes (1896-1985), partially visible in this photograph seated between Johnson and Kennedy, would famously swear in Lyndon B. Johnson aboard Air Force One as the thirty-sixth president of the United States, following the assassination on November 22, 1963. To this day, she remains the only woman to swear in a United States president. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
