Dwaine Sides visited the Museum to commemorate the 56th anniversary of the assassination in November 2019. When he mentioned to a staff member that he had seen the Kennedy motorcade as a third grader, we immediately invited him back to record an oral history. He and his older sister, who also saw the motorcade, recorded this joint interview in late January 2020, just a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic caused The Sixth Floor Museum to close for six months. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
