The Assassination of JFK - Part 1

Episode Description

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy arrived in Dallas as part of a political trip through Texas meant to repair Democratic divisions and prepare for the 1964 campaign. Within hours, he was dead, Governor John Connally was wounded, Lyndon Johnson was president, and a 24-year-old former Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald was in custody. But the story only grew stranger. Oswald denied the charges, called himself a patsy, and was murdered two days later by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby. In this first episode, we follow the assassination from the Texas trip and Dealey Plaza through Parkland Hospital, Oswald’s arrest, Ruby’s shocking act, and the birth of the official story.
