Episode 33: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy Part 1

November 22nd 1963 the streets of Dallas filled with cheering crowds to see the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy. As the motorcade was coming to an end, cheers turn to chaos as the sounds of gunshots fill the air. The president had been shot and rushed to the Parkland Hospital but his injuries were fatal.  According to history books there was only one assassin behind the gun that day, Lee Harvey Oswald.  Who was subsequently assassinated two days later by Jack Ruby. Did officials track the true killer that day or did they have other motives? To fully investigate who could have been behind the gun that day, we have to know one simple question…. Why?

In Part 1 we discuss his rise to power, state of the country, and the sequence of events for that horrific day according to The Warren Commission report.
