On the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy visit Dallas, combining a speaking engagement with a dose of campaigning ahead of the 1964 presidential election.
The president and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, joined by Texas Gov. John Connally and his wife, Nellie, in a 10-mile motorcade through Dallas. The morning's rain had stopped and the top had been taken off Kennedy's open-top Lincoln convertible.
Around 12:30 p.m., the car entered Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. As the car passed in front of the Texas School Board Depository building, shots rang out, wounding Connally and striking Kennedy in the head and neck as his wife looked on. Kennedy was rushed to Dallas' Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was 46.
Connally survived his wounds.
Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who was traveling three cars behind Kennedy, was sworn in as 36th president at 2:39 p.m. that day in a ceremony aboard Air Force One. Jacqueline Kennedy, still wearing her blood-stained clothes, looked on.
