The 22nd of November

A half-century after rifle bullets cut through a presidential motorcade, the city that has long struggled with its own wounds from the Kennedy assassination paused Friday to honor the fallen leader, remembering a young, handsome president with whom Dallas will always be "linked in tragedy."

On the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings presided over a solemn ceremony at the exact time and place where the president was gunned down in an open-top limousine. It was the first time the city had organized such a large event, issuing 5,000 free tickets and erecting a stage with video screens.

"We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard," Rawlings told the crowd in Dealey Plaza, just steps from the Texas School Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor onto the motorcade. "Our president had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world."
