Richard Tullius slide #27 of the Kennedy motorcade on Main Street
Original color 35mm slide of the Kennedy motorcade traveling down Main Street on November 22, 1963. Crowds line the street and are visible on the top of a building in the background to welcome President and Mrs. Kennedy to Dallas. Red, white, and blue banners are strung across the street, and people wave to the president as he passes. A line of motorcycles and the Secret Service follow-up car are visible behind the preidential limousine. The building directly behind the limo is 1112 Main Street, located between Murphy and Griffin Streets. The slide is labeled "Tullius Slide #27" after the donor, Richard Tullius, but according to Mr. Tullius, the image was actually taken by an unknown Dallas Morning News photographer using his personal camera on his day off.

If you look closely, you can see two figures hanging out of the second floor window above the Oriental Cafe. One of these figures is likely the photographer for another set of images in the Museum's collection that shows the same block of Main Street on November 22, 1963 before the president's motorcade passes by. See 2020.027.0001 - .0002 for more information. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
Richard Tullius was part of a group of amateur photographers that planned to pool their photos from the weekend of the Kennedy assassination into a collection of slides that could be packaged for sale. This project never materialized, but Mr. Tullius donated a full set of the slides from this project to the Museum in 2013. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
