The other assassination in 1963 had as its victim, Medgar Evers, the field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi. This video examines Evers' drive to get blacks to vote, the hardships they encountered at the registration office, his murder in his driveway, how the police tried to provoke violence at his funeral, and how all-white juries twice refused to convict his killer in the 1960's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWb1MBFUR8

The speaker is none other than Revilo P. Oliver, whose description was given by Mr. Lane. It is a small excerpt from his 1961 speech before the Dallas Indignation Committee entitled, "They Must Not Go Unpunished." The first time I heard this speech, it sent chills through me. When he got to the part about Benedict Arnold and treason, all I could visualize was the "Wanted For Treason" posters. I put this video togeher because I believe that it's important for students of the Kennedy assassination (such as myself) to understand the events which led up to November 22, 1963.

All of my JFK videos can be seen in one spot, on my Youtube Channel : www.youtube.com/gjjdude

Bernice, I just played out the video and it worked fine. I'm not sure what the reason is that would cause your player to stop part way through the video. I believe Youtube uses Adobe Flashplayer 9. I'm not familiar with any probems associated with that software. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps someone on the forum here could help you with this problem.

James it was the same Harry Knickerbocker. Your assumption is correct.

JFK's Last Ride: Probably the spookiest video I've put together so far. It gives me goosebumps when I watch it. JFK aides discuss the atmosphere in Dallas prior to his visit. A Fort Worth boys choir sings, "The eyes of Texas are upon you All the live long days The eyes of Texas are upon you And you cannot get away Don"t you think you can escape them From night till early in the morn The eyes of Texas are upon you Till Gabriel blows his horn." Dallas Police Chief Curry warns the citizens against any "incidents". The touchdown of AF-1 and motorcade is shown together with a right-wing speech given in Dallas two years earlier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZZr-8EHaeg

All the clips I looked at were culled from other people's videos. Pat, that's not necessarily a bad thing. For instance, nearly all videos with historic value that are used in documentaries, are culled from other people's videos. I never represented these clips as my own creations ( I was about 10 years old when some of these clips were taken) and I certainly never received any profit for their posting. It has been my intention to put together these videos, many of which are not available outside the US, for the benefit of educating the world's children and helping them understand the circumstances leading up to the assassination of President Kennedy. It is my view that only by understanding both the events leading up to the assassination, the powers arrayed against him, and the resistance he faced trying to move the US in a new direction, can we understand what culminated on November 22, 1963. Thank You all for your interest in these video clips.

A look at witnesses to the Tippit Murder, the Warren Commission's "Star" witness, Helen Markham and Ted Calloway and a comparison of their conflicting descriptions of the fleeing gunman. Were these reliable witnesses ? Also, Butch Burroughs, a worker at the Texas Theater, claims that Oswald entered the theater at a time BEFORE Tippit was shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjiOolyy_0I

Civil Rights activists in the South force the Kennedy Administration to enforce the Supreme Court decision allowing people to sit anywhere in a bus. They are met with resistance from right wing hate groups who receive help from law enforcement agencies

Chuck, I agree with you that the pool of blood and the dead agent are connected. Vince Palamara told me that he was never able to track down who that agent was. I suggest that the agent wasn't an agent at all, but a military intelligence operative who was in Dealey Plaza that day. The were 8-12 MI people n the Plaza and according to their commander's testimony before the WC, they may have been carrying SS identification that day. Another interesting tidbit comes from Bethesda, where according to David Lifton and Harry Livingstone, the body of an "Army or Air Force Major" showed up for autopsy on the evening of the 22nd. The medical people at Bethesda told these authors that they were ordered NOT to log in the body of the Major, a highly unusual departure from normal procedure. It is hard to imagine a motive, other than one sinister, for not following procedure in regards to this body. It is again, my opinion, that this body was "used" as a substitute for Kennedys, in as much as the vital statistics (weight of the brain, etc.) was concerned. It is also my opinion, that this Major could likely be the misidentified "dead secret service agent" that vanished into history.

Walter Cronkite interviewed President Kennedy at Hyannisport on Labor Day Weekend, 1963. In this clip, JFK gives his views on Vietnam, calling it "their war". He also defines the commitment of the US saying, "We can help them, we can send them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisors, but THEY have to win the war, the people of Vietnam against the Communists." Kennedy then expresses his disagreement with those who have advocated an immediate and total withdrawl of all of the advisors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG7jjF6xuKM

This video follows the President's casket as it leaves the White House on Sunday, November 24th for the Captiol, where it lies in state in the Rotunda on Sunday. It then leaves the Capitol on Monday for St Matthew's Cathedral for the Funeral Mass, then on to Arlington National Cemetary for burial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfbd5cl1XDc I remember as a young boy wtching it on TV. The sound of those drums still send a shiver up my spine.

Darrell Tomlinson, the Parkland employee who found the bullet, tells us that it was NOT found on Connally's stretcher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA68-rlXVIY

Kennedy press conference where JFK blasts the Steel industry, which had raised its prices after Kennedy had gotten the union to pull back on its wage demands in order to keep the prices down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-sIYl5C4mY

I would agree with your opinion, Kathleen. Oswald wasn't expecting it, or else he would have at least hesitated walking, if not stopped totally in his tracks. In Bob Groden's book, "The Search for Lee Harvey Oswald", there are several photos of Ruby in the DPD building that were captured from news video taken on the evening of the 22nd. A few show Ruby in the hallway and another is the famous one of Ruby in the back of the room during Henry Wade's press conference. He was definitely stalking Oswald all weekend long. Keep in mind that Oswald's "work" with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee was done ONLY during his time in New Orleans. There was also a Free Cuba Committee, an anti-Castro group at the time. The only way Ruby could have known which group Oswald belonged to , was if he had known him personally and was aware of his activities in New Orleans. Otherwise, he would have had no idea to which group Oswald was a member.

Witnesses answer the question as to whether or not Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald knew each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcVM_UbBIyI
