DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer John Mazziota. This image shows Assistant White House Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff and members of the Secret Service walking past ambulance driver Aubrey Rike as they head toward the emergency entrance of Parkland Hospital. The men are walking between a white car from the Oneal Funeral Home and another vehicle, which has one door open. Kilduff made the official announcement of President Kennedy's death a short while later at a press conference held at Parkland at 1:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963. The images on this negative strip were taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer John Mazziotta at Parkland Hospital that day. There were two Dallas Times Herald photographers at Parkland - Eamon Kennedy and John Mazziotta. Bob Jackson, another photographer who was at Parkland earlier, was not at the hospital when the Johnsons left, as is pictured in the last frame on the strip.
