DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows Hurchel Jacks, a Texas Department of Public Safety officer, waiting next to his car to hear news of President Kennedy's condition outside of Parkland Hospital on November 22, 1963. Mr. Jacks was the driver of Vice President Lyndon Johnson's car in the motorcade. Members of the crowd at Parkland can be seen in the background. The images on this negative strip were taken by one of two Dallas Times Herald staff photographers at Parkland Hospital that day. There were two Dallas Times Herald photographers at Parkland who stayed for the press conference which appears in the last frames on this negative strip - Eamon Kennedy and John Mazziotta. One of them took these photos. Bob Jackson, who was at Parkland earlier, was not present at the press conference.
