On November 22, 1963, Reid arrived at Dallas Love Field two hours early and filmed some of the preparations for, and later the arrival of, the Kennedys. Reid filmed the presidential arrival and the Kennedys in the crowd until he ran out of film; by the time he reloaded, the motorcade had departed. His film is also in the collection of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (1996.014.0004). - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager","A number of similar handmade signs were freely distributed to spectators at Dallas Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963. Although the wording on the roughly handwritten signs differed, all referenced \"Grassroots Democrats,\" with some also indicating an affiliation with nearby Southern Methodist University. Slogans on these signs included: \"All the Way with JFK,\" \"Welcome Jack,\" and \"We Love Jackie.\" One of these signs, the only surviving example known to exist, is in the Museum's Collection, 2018.021.0002. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"64084"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"15/16 × 1 7/16 in.
