Description

At one o'clock in the afternoon on November 22, 1963, Walter Cronkite announced to a stunned nation that the 35th president of the United States was dead. Slain by an assassin's bullet, John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s tragic death would go on to inspire some of the most enlightened legislation of the era and, in his absence, plunge the nation into one of the most traumatic conflicts in its history. But what if the events that sunny day in late November had gone a little differently — the car been driving a little faster or the order to remove the bubble glass rescinded. What if, on that fateful day in Dallas, the assassin’s bullet had missed JFK.
