DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald chief photographer John Mazziotta. This image shows Jacqueline Kennedy, followed by Hugh Sidey of Time Magazine, greeting the crowd at Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963.
Curatorial CommentaryThe partially obscured sign at the back left reads in full, "Let's Barry King John," a reference to the upcoming 1964 election in which the presumed Republican candidate would be Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. This was one of the few negative signs that appeared in photographs of the crowds in Dallas that day. - Gary Mack, Curator
