Curatorial Commentary

It is not clear which Dallas Morning News photographer took this image on the weekend of the Kennedy assassination. A number of photographers were present at various points including Tom Dillard, Joe Laird, Clint Grant, Bill Winfrey, and Jack Beers. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
