DescriptionVideotaped oral history interview with Amy Cunningham. A high school sophomore in 1963, Cunningham saw the Kennedy motorcade on Main Street. In the aftermath of the assassination, she assisted at the Cinderella Flower Shop in Oak Cliff, creating a large number of memorial floral arrangements and transporting them to Dealey Plaza. Interview conducted at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on July 11, 2008 by Stephen Fagin. The interview is one hour and two minutes long.
Curatorial Commentary
Ms. Cunningham, a longtime nutritionist at Tulane University School of Medicine in Louisiana, visited The Sixth Floor Museum at the 40th anniversary of the assassination in November 2003. After her trip to Dallas, she volunteered for an oral history but preferred to be interviewed in person rather than by telephone. We kept in touch for the next five years until we were able to record this interview during a return visit to Dallas in 2008. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
