Curatorial Commentary

The U.S. Secret Service agent visible between President and Mrs. Kennedy is Roy Kellerman, who sat in the front passenger seat of the Kennedy limousine during the Dallas parade. Agent Clint Hill, who jumped onto the back of the limousine during the assassination, is partially visible on the far right side of the image - showing only a part of his face and sunglasses. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
