In June, the Museum commemorated the 55th anniversary of the dedication of the John F. Kennedy Memorial in Dallas with a special lecture by Stephen Fagin, Head of Curatorial. This presentation, “Remembering JFK in Dallas,” explores the fascinating, controversial and somewhat strange history of Kennedy memorialization in Dallas from the immediate aftermath of the Kennedy assassination to the late 1970s. #history #jfk | The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

The gateway to downtown Dallas, Dealey Plaza was constructed at the site of the city's founding and completed in 1941. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 transformed this symbol of local civic pride into an internationally recognized site of tragedy. Dealey Plaza was named a National Historic Landmark District in 1993.
