DescriptionOriginal 8mm color film made by Jackie Tindel from the intersection near the southwest corner of Main and Harwood Streets across from the Dallas Police Department. His film shows the presidential limousine and following vehicles turning onto Main Street with Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, who was assigned to Jacqueline Kennedy, riding on the car's left rear bumper. The last section of film shows flowers and mourners in Dealey Plaza, as well as the Texas School Book Depository on Sunday, two days after the assassination.
