Texas

In November 2012, I drove from Minnesota all the way to Texas for my best friend’s “Big Texas Weddin’.” On the way, I visited Dealey Plaza.

​

On 22 November 1963, my grandfather waited at his place of work for a very special guest who was scheduled to make a speech.

​

President John F. Kennedy never made it to the Dallas Trade Mart to give his speech; assassinated on his way.

​

His son, my uncle, who was in high school at the time in Irving, retells what he experienced on that day.

​

“Students ran through the hallways of the school and shouted, ‘The South Will Rise Again!’”
