Curatorial Note:

This distinctive "JFK" floral arrangement was one of the more creative floral tributes left in Dealey Plaza during the weekend of the assassination. Another arrangement spelled out the letter "K" for Kennedy in white flowers. Another oft-photographed arrangement was an ornate display left by Tom Russell of Dallas that included a large red cross and a small "eternal flame." This small "JFK" arrangement was located directly behind the Russell display, very close to the pedestal where Abraham Zapruder had filmed the assassination. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
