President John F. Kennedy chose to travel to Texas to ease tensions in the Democratic Party between liberals Ralph Yarborough and Don Yarborough and conservative John Connally.
A presidential visit to Texas was first agreed upon by Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B Johnson, and Texas Governor John Connally while all three men were together in a meeting in El Paso on June 5, 1963.
President Kennedy's trip to Dallas was first announced to the public in September 1963. The exact motorcade route was finalized on November 18 and publicly announced a few days before November 22

The motorcade route schedule was as follows: left turn from the south end of Love Field to West Mockingbird Lane, right on Lemmon Ave., right at the "Y" on Turtle Creek Blvd, straight on Cedar Springs Rd, left on North Harwood St, right on Main St, right on Houston St, sharp left on Elm St, through Triple Underpass, right turn up ramp to North Stemmons Freeway, to Dallas Trade Mart at 2100 North Stemmons. This same exact route cannot be driven today; there is a "No right turn" sign on the corner of Main and Houston Streets as well as some highway progressions in other areas.
The presidential motorcade began its route without incident, stopping twice so President Kennedy could shake hands with some Catholic nuns, then some school children.
The route taken by the motorcade within Dealey Plaza. North is towards the almost direct-left
At 12:29 p.m., the presidential limousine entered Dealey Plaza after a 90-degree right turn from Main Street onto Houston Street. Over two dozen known and unknown amateur and professional still and motion-picture photographers captured the last living images of President Kennedy.

Most of the witnesses recalled that the first shot was fired after the president had started waving with his right hand. Several onlookers recalled hearing three shots, with the second and third shots bunched distinctly much closer together than the first and second shots. Witnesses estimate that from three to eight shots were fired. ]]> 2019-05-11 18:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359134456 ruiz_richard19 https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359134596 2019-05-11 18:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359134596 ruiz_richard19 https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359134781 This is the film that shows the last moments of President Kennedys life. **CONTENT IS GRAPHIC**]]> 2019-05-11 18:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359134781 ruiz_richard19 https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359135245 Lee Harvey Oswald was  an American Marxist and former U.S. Marine who assassinated United States President John F.

Two days after the assassination, as he was being escorted to a car in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters for the transfer from the city jail to the county jail, Oswald was fatally shot by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby. Oswald was rushed by ambulance to Parkland Memorial Hospital, he died at 1:07 p.m. After being arrested Ruby later said that he had been distraught over the Kennedy assassination and that killing Oswald would spare Mrs. Kennedy from coming back to trial.]]> 2019-05-11 18:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359135431 ruiz_richard19 https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359135816 2019-05-11 19:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359135816 ruiz_richard19 https://padlet.com/ruiz_richard19/ddgl5kg7d0tq/wish/359135953
The state funeral took place in Washington, D.C., during the three days that followed the assassination.
The body of President Kennedy was flown back to Washington, D.C., and placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours. On the Sunday after the assassination, his coffin was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the United States Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands of people lined up to view the guarded casket.  Representatives from over 90 countries attended the state funeral on Monday, November 25. After the Requiem Mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral, the President was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
