Curatorial Commentary

Partially visible at the right edge of the image is U.S. Secret Service agent Winston Lawson. In charge of presidential security for the Dallas portion of the Texas trip, Lawson did ten days of advance work in the city and rode in the lead car in the presidential parade. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
