DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald photographer John Mazziotta. This image shows Dallas police officer Kenneth Heard and other unidentified Dallas police officers standing guard outside the Dallas Trade Mart where President Kennedy was to speak at a luncheon. The Trade Mart is part of the Market Hall complex just north of downtown Dallas. The images on this negative strip were taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer John Mazziotta at Parkland Hospital that day. There were two Dallas Times Herald photographers at Parkland - Eamon Kennedy and John Mazziotta. Bob Jackson, another photographer who was at Parkland earlier, was not at the hospital when the Johnsons left, as is pictured in the last frame on the strip.
