Curatorial Commentary
It is unclear what Dallas Morning News photographer took this image. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
Robert Edward Lee Oswald (1934-2017) was Lee Harvey Oswald's older brother. At the time this photograph was taken, he was sales coordinator for a brick company in Denton, Texas. In addition to testifying before the Warren Commission in 1964, he wrote the book, Lee: A Portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald by His Brother Robert Oswald (1967). Robert Oswald consistently believed that his younger brother acted alone in killing President Kennedy, reiterating this view in multiple interviews over the years. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
