TODAY’S FROZEN MOMENT - 60th Anniversary - November 24th, 1963 -

This indelible moment, when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald was captured for eternity by Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert Jackson. He would win the Pulitzer Prize for it. Obviously, this moment was also seen live on television by millions of people, but there is something so much more powerful about a photograph to seal a moment in time. As for history, Dallas Police officer James Leavelle, the man in the light-colored suit and Stetson, whose wrist was handcuffed to Oswald’s for this walk, had also survived Pearl Harbor twenty-two years prior while serving on the USS Whitney stationed there. Two days of infamy, two seminal American history moments, and this Texan survived them both, up close and personally. Leavelle’s suit and hat are now in a museum in Dallas. This moment was one which sparked the myriad conspiracy theories that surround the murder of JFK. Jack Ruby was a shady but wily character who seemed unlikely to have been willing to murder somebody in front of millions of eye witnesses simply because he was angry about the assassination. It sill amazes me that so many people have since gone to their graves with the complete truth about all of these events of those days in Dallas. An entire industry of speculative books and films have sprung from these moments, and mostly due to the mystery left unclear. American history is sadly rife with moments of injustice that become gotten away with. This is likely our most infamous instance. The deeper mysteries are the whys of allowing these injustices to stay unresolved and unpunished.

The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.
