John F. Kennedy


35th President of US

(January 20, 1962 to November 22, 1963)

"Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate."


        On November 21, 1963, President Kennedy flew to Texas to give several political speeches. The next day (November 22, 1963), as his car drove slowly past cheering crowds in Dallas, shots rang out. Kennedy was seriously wounded and died a short time later. Within a few hours of the shooting, police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and charged him with the murder. On November 24, another man, Jack Ruby, shot and killed Oswald, thus silencing the only person who could have offered more information about this event.
