The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: Fifty Years of Conspiracy.

In our English class, we are learning a lot making a sixties project. During the semester we have developing an essay about the topic we chose. My sixties project is about The President Kennedy's Assassination. Below is the visual analysis about his assassination and an interesting video.

Shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas with his wife Jaqueline by his side. Crowds of excited people lined the streets and waved to the Kennedys. The car turned off Main Street at Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. As it was passing the Texas School Book Depository, gunfire suddenly reverberated in the plaza. Bullets struck the president's neck and head and he slumped over toward Mrs. Kennedy.

Elected in 1960 as the 35th president of the United States, 43-year-old John F. Kennedy became the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. He was born into one of America’s wealthiest families and parlayed an elite education and a reputation as a military hero into a successful run for Congress in 1946 and for the Senate in 1952. As president, Kennedy confronted mounting Cold War tensions in Cuba, Vietnam and elsewhere. He also led a renewed drive for public service and eventually provided federal support for the growing civil rights movement.

In 1964, after months of investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that the Ex-American former US Marine Lee Harvey Oswald was the only person responsible for assassinating Kennedy. The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 has spurred numerous conspiracy theories, which include accusations of involvement of the CIA, the Mafia, sitting Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro, the KGB, or even some combination thereof. Some conspiracy theories further claim that the United States federal government covered up crucial information in the aftermath of the assassination. There are a total of 42 groups, 82 assassins, and 214 people had been accused at one time or another in various conspiracy scenarios according to Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi.
