DescriptionOriginal 35mm color slide of Marguerite Oswald in Dealey Plaza, taken by Dallas resident George Reid. Mrs. Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald's mother, poses with the Texas School Book Depository in the background George Reid was a long-time John F. Kennedy supporter who campaigned for him in Texas in 1960. He also filmed home-movie footage of President Kennedy at Love Field in Dallas, and in Dealey Plaza on several occasions in the 1960s. He met Mrs. Oswald in Dealey Plaza by coincidence and she consented to have her picture taken.
