Image of flowers and a note in Dealey Plaza
Original 35mm color slide on Kodachrome Transparency film taken by Ruby trial jurist J. Waymon Rose showing flowers and a note on the ground in Dealey Plaza. The image was likely taken the weekend of the assassination in November 1963. The note reads "I'm sorry Caroline and John John. Forgive Dallas." and is signed “A nine-year-old Dallas girl." Immediately after the assassination and in the following days and months, people left flowers and mementos in Dealey Plaza in honor of President Kennedy.

J. Waymon Rose (1922-2020) was selected as Juror No. 10 in the 1964 Jack Ruby trial. In 2002, Waymon and his wife, Ann, donated a remarkable collection of trial-related materials, including their personal diaries, three oversized scrapbooks, more than 150 letters and newspaper clippings and several amateur photographs such as this one. When Waymon Rose passed away in 2020 at the age of 98, the Museum lost a treasured friend. In addition to two oral history interviews, Waymon joined us to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Jack Ruby trial in 2004 as part of a special panel discussion. He holds the distinction of being the very first guest speaker in the Museum's popular "Living History" public and educational program series, and he went on to participate in five more programs between 2009 and 2014. Two of these programs, recorded in 2013 and 2014, may be viewed in full on the Museum's YouTube channel. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
The Dallas Park Department collected notecards and tributes like this one that were left in Dealey Plaza following the assassination. Today, the Dallas Public Library has four binders of these cards in their holdings. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
