November 22, 1963 is a day Americans remember where they were and what they were doing. That was the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. He had not even completed one term in office.
Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin (and killed 2 days later on live TV as he was being transferred to the county jail). Whether he did it alone (per the official assessment - 1964 Warren Commission) or was part of a conspiracy (various suggestions have said multiple gunmen, organized crime, CIA, anti-communist Cubans, or pro-communist Cubans were the masterminds....and there are others) has been a matter of debate in the 50 years since.
