Roth Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume 110, Number 1, July 2006, pp. 156-157 (Review) Published by Texas State Historical Association DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/swh.2006.0029 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/203061 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] 156 Southwestern Historical Quarterly July George Phenix remembers the volatile political climate of Dallas. On assign- ment one week before Kennedy’s shooting while covering Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s speech before approximately two thousand right-wingers at Dallas’s Baker Hotel, Phenix was physically assaulted and twice thrown to the ground by the ultraconservative Gen. Edwin Walker. The conservative crowd robustly applauded Walker’s efforts; no one yet knew that one month earlier Lee Harvey Oswald had attempted to assassinate Walker in his Dallas home. Bill Mercer writes about the chaotic conditions at police headquarters after the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald, focusing on the impromptu midnight press conference with Oswald. Mercer acknowledges that among those in attendance at the press conference was Jack Ruby, who apparently had no trouble entering police headquarters, given the confused state of affairs. Mercer also covered the arrival at police headquarters of Oswald’s wife, Marina, and his mother, Marguer- ite, who steadfastly proclaimed her son’s innocence. Wes Wise focuses on the political instability of Dallas, recounting the Octo- ber 1963 visit of former Senator and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson, who was accosted by several conservative, anti-U.N.

  • 1963 John F. Kennedy Assassinated
    Reading 1963 John F. Kennedy assassinated John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is assassinated while travelling through Dallas, Texas, in an open-top convertible. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy rarely accompanied her husband on political outings, but she was beside him, along with Texas Governor John Connally and his wife, for a 10- mile motorcade through the streets of downtown Dallas on November 22. Sitting in a Lincoln convertible, the Kennedys and Connallys waved at the large and enthusiastic crowds gathered along the parade route. As their vehicle passed the Texas School Book Depository Building at 12:30 p.m., Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired three shots from the sixth floor, fatally wounding President Kennedy and seriously injuring Governor Connally. Kennedy was pronounced dead 30 minutes later at Dallas’ Parkland Hospital. He was 46. Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who was three cars behind President Kennedy in the motorcade, was sworn in as the 36th president of the United States at 2:39 p.m. He took the presidential oath of office aboard Air Force One as it sat on the runway at Dallas Love Field airport. The swearing in was witnessed by some 30 people, including Jacqueline Kennedy, who was still wearing clothes stained with her husband’s blood. Seven minutes later, the presidential jet took off for Washington. The next day, November 23, President Johnson issued his first proclamation, declaring November 25 to be a day of national mourning for the slain president. On that Monday, hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of Washington to watch a horse- drawn caisson bear Kennedy’s body from the Capitol Rotunda to St.
