DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows President and Mrs. Kennedy at Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963.

Curatorial CommentaryThe U.S. Secret Service agent standing next to Mrs. Kennedy is Clint Hill who would later jump onto the back of the presidential limousine during the assassination. Farther back, reaching into his suit jacket, is Assistant White House Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff, who would later officially announce the death of President Kennedy to reporters at Parkland Memorial Hospital. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
