Kennedy Assassination 60th Anniversary: The Zapruder Film

C-SPAN's The Weekly

"On November 22, 1963, at precisely 12:30 PM, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the youthful 35th President of the United States drove triumphantly into this square, where hundreds waited to cheer him...and where another waited as well. Seconds later a dying President sped away from Dealey Plaza -- into history, into legend, into a national nightmare of suspicion that persists to this day."

--Walter Cronkite, opening a special four-part CBS News inquiry on the Warren Report, June 25, 1967

Walter Cronkite said suspicion about the Kennedy assassination persists to this day. He said that in 1967. But it also applies to 2023.
