Curatorial Commentary
As a teenager in 1963, Dallas resident Lovita Irby was near the corner of Elm and Houston Streets at the time of the Kennedy assassination. In 1991, she was one of several historical consultants to filmmaker Oliver Stone during the Dallas production of the Warner Brothers film, JFK. Irby extensively photographed the Dallas production and donated many of her images to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 2005. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
