On November 22, 1963, a motorcade holding the late President of the United States John F. Kennedy rode into Dealey Plaza where the President Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was supposedly pent up in the Texas School Book Depository on the 6th floor where he fired from to assassinate the late President. This event sent millions of people into a frenzy which struck down the morale of the people who loved him dearly. There is a lot of speculation towards a conspiracy theory which states that there was more than one shooter or that maybe our own government had something to do with the assassination. Today the old book depository’s sixth floor makes for a great tribute to the late president and is opened to the public as the Sixth Floor Museum. There was plenty of “evidence” found on the sixth floor placing the gunman on this very floor. There is plenty to see here on the sixth floor about the times of the assassination including what the country was like at that time, what the issues were, and the aftermath of the whole incident. The museum hosts a plethora of information on the event including over 400 images, about an hour of documentary footage, artifacts from the scene which tell an interesting story of how one of the nation’s greatest leaders was killed in front of his love and in front of millions of people who adored him. Even after the assassination, Kennedy’s hopes and goals lived on in the people of this country well into the future. This museum not only brings forth the story of Kennedy’s assassination, it also outlines his contributions and victories throughout his presidency.
