The Assassination of President John F Kennedy The Assassination of President John F Kennedy Aim: To understand the events of 22nd November 1963 • On 22nd November, 1963, President John F. Kennedy arrived in Dallas, Texas. It was decided that Kennedy and his party, including his wife, Jackie Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Governor John Connally and Senator Ralph Yarborough, would travel in a procession of cars through the business district of Dallas. A pilot car and several motorcycles rode ahead of the presidential limousine. As well as Kennedy the limousine included his wife, John Connally, his wife Nellie, Roy Kellerman, head of the Secret Service at the White House and the driver, William Greer. The next car carried eight Secret Service Agents. This was followed by a car John Connally, Nellie Connally, John containing Lyndon Johnson and Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy in the Ralph Yarborough presidential limousine. At about 12.30 p.m. the presidential limousine entered Elm Street. Soon afterwards a shot was fired. Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman said to the driver, William Greer, "let's get out of here." However, Greer hits the breaks. More bullets were fired, and John F. Kennedy was hit by bullets that hit him in the head and the left shoulder. John Connally was also hit in the back. At this point Jackie Kennedy crawled onto the trunk of the limousine. At the same time Secret Service agent Clint Hill, runs forward from the car behind. As he reaches the limousine, he heard her say: "I have a piece of his brain in my hand." Hill managed to get onto the Clint Hill gets onboard to help Jackie Kennedy. trunk (boot) and shove her back into the car, placing his body over hers and the Presidents. Ten seconds after the first Witnesses at the scene of shots had been fired the the assassination claimed president's car they had seen shots accelerated off at high being fired from behind a speed towards Parkland wooden fence on the Memorial Hospital.

They also found a Mannlicher- Carcano rifle hidden beneath some boxes. At 1.16 p.m. J. D. Tippit, a Dallas policeman, approached a man walking along East 10th Street. A witness later testified that after a short conversation the man pulled out a handgun and fired a number of shots at Officer Tippet. The man run off leaving the dying Tippet on the ground. Twenty minutes later, Johnny Brewer, a manager of a shoe shop, saw a man who appeared to be hiding from passing police cars. He called the police after he saw the man enter a cinema. When the police arrived Mr. Brewer accompanied the officers into the cinema where he pointed out the man he had seen acting in a suspicious manner. After a brief struggle the man was arrested. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald. The police soon found out that Oswald worked at the Texas Book Depository. They also discovered his palm print on the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle that was found earlier that day. Other evidence emerged that suggested that Oswald had been involved in the killing of John F. Kennedy. Oswald's handprints were found on the book cartons and the brown paper bag. Charles Givens, a fellow worker, testified that he saw Oswald on the sixth floor at 11.55 a.m. Another witness, Howard Brennan, claimed he saw Oswald holding a rifle at the sixth- floor window. The police also While being interrogated discovered that the by the Dallas Police, Mannlicher-Carcano rifle Oswald denied he had was purchased under the been involved in the name A. Hiddell.

The the punishment for a rifle had been sent by the crime they did not mail order company from commit). Chicago to P.O. Box 2915, Dallas, Texas. The Post Office box belonged to Oswald. On 24th November 1963, the Dallas Police decided to transfer to Oswald to the county jail. As Oswald was led through the basement of police headquarters a man rushed forward and shot him in the stomach. The gunman was quickly arrested by police officers. Lee Harvey Oswald died soon afterwards. The man who killed him was identified as Jack Ruby. The new President, Lyndon B Johnson, ordered a full investigation into the assassination of JFK and a 12-man committee was set up to complete the job. The man in charge was called Earl Warren and the 12 men became known as "The Warren Commission". The Warren Commission reported to President Johnson ten months later. It reached the following conclusions: • The shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired from the sixth-floor window at the southeast corner of the Texas School Book Depository. • The weight of the evidence indicates that there were three shots fired. • Although it is not necessary to any essential findings of the Commission to determine just which shot hit Governor Connally, there is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that the same bullet which pierced the President's throat also caused Governor Connally's wounds. However, Governor Connally's testimony and certain other factors have given rise to some difference of opinion as to this probability but there is no question in the mind of any member of the Commission that all the shots which caused the President's and Governor Connally's wounds were fired from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. • The shots which killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. • Oswald killed Dallas Police Patrolman J. D. Tippit approximately 45 minutes after the assassination. • Within 80 minutes of the assassination and 35 minutes of the Tippit killing Oswald resisted arrest at the theater by attempting to shoot another Dallas police officer. • The Commission has found no evidence that either Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy. • In its entire investigation the Commission has found no evidence of conspiracy, subversion, or disloyalty to the U.S. Government by any Federal, State, or local official. • On the basis of the evidence before the Commission it concludes that, Oswald acted alone..

    Cameto rysticjue The Am inued Skis• m " Camelot's Mystique: The American Public's Continued Fascination With the Kennedy Assassination By LynDee Stephens University of North Texas Capstone Honors Thesis Spring 1999 h t /l/^ Gloria Cox, university honors program director Richard Wells, journalism department chairman Amid the tract homes and two-car garages that peppered the American landscape in the decade following World War II, there was a controversy brewing, one that could not be contained by government or society. Though America in the 1950s appeared on the surface an ideal society full of hardworking men and happy housewives, it was then that the first strains of the tension that would split the nation over age, morals and race in the 1960s began. It was in this climate, too, that a young, charismatic senator from Massachusetts began a rise to power that ended in his assassination in November 1963 and drew a nation into the mystique of a presidency that would hold widespread fascination for more than a quarter-century. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29,1917. His parents, Joseph and Rose Kennedy, were a wealthy and politically active couple. Joe Kennedy was a United States ambassador with high hopes for the family's future. Rose, in particular, had watched her Jiusband's rise in the international arena and had big plans for her nine children, of which John was the second boy (Patterson, 1). John grew up on the family's New England estate as a young man with big ideas. He attended Princeton University briefly in the late 1930s before transferring to Harvard in 1936, where he would graduate in 1940.

PUB DATE Apr 93 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (44th, San Diego, CA, April 1-3, 1993). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Higher Education; Historiography; Popular Culture; *Presidents of the United States; *Rhetorical Criticism; *Rhetorical Theory; *United States History IDENTIFIERS 1960s; *Assassinations; Classical Rhetoric; Garrison (Jim); *Kennedy (John F); Rhetorical Stance; Social Needs ABSTRACT The rhetoric surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy offers a unique testing ground for theories about the construction of knowledge in society. One dilemma, however, is the lack of academic theorizing about the assassination. The Kennedy assassination has been left almost exclusively in the hands of "nonhistorians," i.e., politicians, filmmakers, and novelists. Their struggle to reach consensus is an opportunity to consider recent issues in rhetorical theory, issues of knowledge and belief, argument and narrative, history and myth. In "Rereading the Sophists: Classical Rhetoric Refigured," Susan C. Jarratt uses the sophists and their focus on "nomos" to propose "an alternative analytic to the mythos/logos antithesis" characteristic of more Aristotelian forms of rhetorical analysis. Two basic features of sophistic historiography interest Jarratt: (1) the use of narrative structures along with or opposed to argumentative structures; and (2) the rhetorical focus on history to creative broad cultural meaning in the present rather than irrefutable fact,about the past. Jarratt's book lends itself to a 2-part reading of Jim Garrison's "On the Trail of the Assassins"--a rational or Aristotelian reading and a nomos-driven or myth-making reading.

Session: May 2015 Candidate name: Hellen Wu Candidate number: 001127 - 0040 Essay subject: History Supervisor: Ruth Clarke Word count: Main investigation 3915 (excluding references and subtitles) Abstract 300 "1 Abstract This essay investigated the question “to what extent was the Warren Commission report on the assassination of John F. Kennedy accurate in establishing the number and location of shots, proposing that both Connally and Kennedy were struck by the same bullet, and identifying Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator?”. In order to reach a comprehensive conclusion to this question, it was necessary to conduct some simple preliminary research on the social context during Kennedy’s time (i.e. the 1960s), before proceeding to research the chronology of events on the day of his assassination. This enabled a more accurate understanding of the conclusions reached by the The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (i.e. the Warren Commission) as to the nature of the assassination. Because the report by the Warren Commission comprised of numerous conclusions, it was not possible to analyze all of these, and only those most pertinent to the assassination of Kennedy were investigated, specifically the details of the shooting, the “Magic Bullet Theory”, and the identity of the assassin.

M J Foren. 1(1): 005. ABSTRACT November 22, 2018, marks the 55th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, one of the most traumatic murders in U.S. history. Two official investigations were conducted by the Warren Commission’s Report in 1964 and the House Select Committee on Assassinations’ Report in 1979. Several scientific studies have also been conducted to find the truth about the murder. However, none of the studies has focused on the rifling angle comparison between the alleged mur- der weapon (CE 139) and the nearly intact bullet (CE 399). Although the bullet was the only useable physical evidence found on Governor Connally’s stretcher, the bullet and the rifle have not been used in any forensic examinations, mainly because these two pieces of evidence are the protected items under the National Archives.
