DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image shows some people on Houston Street in front of the Texas School Book Depository. A crowd had gathered outside the Dallas County Sheriff's Department offices on Houston Street on Sunday morning, November 24, 1963, to await the arrival of suspected assassin Lee Harvey Oswald from the city jail. Oswald was shot before the transfer could be completed. This image was taken after news of Oswald's shooting had spread. The photographs on this strip have been attributed both to Andy Hanson and to Eamon Kennedy. It is not possible at this time to determine positively which photographer took these pictures.
