Today marks the 54th anniversary of the greatest
murder mystery of the 20th Century, the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
The nation's 35th president was born in Brookline, Mass., a Boston
suburb on May 29, 1917. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his
birth. He was the first president born
in the 20th Century.
Today, national park rangers will lay a wreath outside
Kennedy's childhood home, and a 21-gun salute will
follow. The observances are being held at what is now known as the John
Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site.
The murder of Kennedy’s alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald
by Jack Ruby, only hours after Kennedy’s death has left the investigation
unresolved. On the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's
assassination, a clear majority of Americans (61%) believe others besides
Oswald were involved in Kennedy’s assassination according to a Gallup Poll at
the time.
Earlier this fall, President Trump agreed to the much ballyhooed
release of documents regarding Kennedy’s assassination. In the end, according to CNN, what was
supposed to be the final release of government secrets about the 1963 killing
of President John F. Kennedy wasn't quite the blockbuster splash that the President
had been promising.
