It is the year 2325. I am a very prominent archaeologist who has just been summoned to a dig site because my colleagues have made a unique discovery. They have found a time capsule from the 1960s that was buried long ago. Very carefully, my colleagues and I unearthed this time capsule, and inside the time capsule we found five items that define the era of the 1960s. The very first item that we found was a news paper clipping about the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. John F Kennedy, affectionately known by his family as Jack, and by the nation as JFK; was the 35th president of the United States beginning in January 1961 up until November 1963 when he was tragically shot down during a motorcade in downtown Dallas Texas Dealey Plaza. The President was beginning to work on his presidential campaign for the next term, he had not officially made it known to the public but I have a feeling that many of the people just knew that he would run again and possibly take the win. This was traumatizing for his wife Jacqueline, not only because she witnessed his death, but because she very rarely went along with her husband on campaigns. As the Lincoln Convertible drove by Texas school book depository Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired three shots from the sixth floor, wounded President Kennedy and seriously wounding the Governor. President JFK was pronounced dead thirty minutes, later at the Dallas Parkland Hospital. JFK had many ideas in mind to help
On November 22, 1963 United States President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas Texas. In September 1964 the Warren Commission, appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, presented an official report documenting the details of the assassination. This report concluded that Kennedy was killed by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald, and that Oswald acted alone. Ever since then there has been speculation concerning the validity of the Warren Commission. For over fifty years conspiracy theorists have been uncovering the “truth” behind Kennedy’s assassination. These theories, however, are largely unfounded, and supported by no hard evidence. In contrast, the meticulously detailed Warren Report, available in the National Archives, provides countless pieces of closely analyzed evidence, all corroborating the same, controversial claim. Regardless of popular American disbelief, the fact remains that Lee Harvey Oswald is alone responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as described by the Warren Commission.
