Six months after the assassination, Barker took a cross-country bus tour of the United States. During a stop in Dallas, he happened to be visiting Dealey Plaza with his camera on May 24, 1964, when this FBI reenactment took place. Barker recorded an oral history about his experiences and donated his original slides and other materials to the Museum in 2008. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator
