Immediately after the assassination and in the following days, weeks and months, people left flowers and mementos in Dealey Plaza in honor of President Kennedy. This picture was taken in April of 1964. Image shows flowers, wreaths, and notes left by mourners at the north pergola in Dealey Plaza.Dealey PlazaMemorialsFlowersPhotographsTributesDallasIn the weeks and months following the assassination, as the number of memorial tributes decreased, the north pergola in Dealey Plaza became the designated location for any new and remaining floral arrangements, wreaths and notecards.
