Waymon Rose, defense attorneys Joe Tonahill and Phil Burleson and Dallas County D.A. Henry Wade. In addition, an audio oral history with juror J. Waymon Rose is part of the Dr. John Mark Dempsey Collection (2014.019). - Stephen Fagin, Curator","I had the tremendous pleasure of first meeting juror J. Waymon Rose, as well as his late wife Ann, in June 2002. That year, the Roses donated a large collection of trial-related material to The Sixth Floor Museum (Waymon and Ann Rose Collection, 2002.052), including three oversized scrapbooks that Ann compiled during the Ruby trial and its aftermath. Most notably, their collection includes separate handwritten journals kept by both Waymon and Ann Rose during the course of the trial. These remarkable firsthand documents provide a unique window in the daily life of a Ruby trial juror as well as the flip-side perspective -- what it was like to be the spouse of a sequestered juror during the course of the trial. Both Waymon's journal (2002.052.0155) and Ann's journal (2002.052.0156) can be read in their entirety in our online collection. \r\nAnn Rose recorded an oral history in 2004 and sadly passed away much too soon in 2012. J. Waymon Rose, as of late 2019, is one of two known surviving Ruby trial jurors. Waymon recorded oral history interviews in 2002 and 2013 and participated in a total of eight public and educational programs at the Museum between 2004 and 2014. Always willing to share his experiences with wit and charm, Waymon became the very first speaker in the Museum's popular \"Living History\" program series on February 15, 2008. (Sadly, that pilot session was Waymon's only program not to be videotaped as part of the Museum's ongoing Oral History Project.) It was a distinct honor and a great pleasure to moderate all of these conversations with Waymon over the years, and we will always consider Waymon, Ann and the rest of the Rose clan to be part of our extended Museum family. - Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"65567"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"11 3/16 × 8 5/8 × 1 3/16 in.
