DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image, taken from an upper level of the Dallas Trade Mart, shows banquet tables being set up on November 21, 1963, in preparation for the luncheon honoring President and Mrs. Kennedy scheduled for the following day.
