Viewing: President's day: pre-Zapruder footage
The Sixth Floor Museum of Dallas chooses a tragically inappropriate date to release a newly found 8mm snippet of President John F. Kennedy before he was murdered. (In the MSNBC coverage inside the clip, the network anachronistically refers to the 1963-shot home movie as a "video.") This is the museum's description: "This newly-discovered home movie of the fateful Kennedy motorcade was recently donated to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. The photographer, George Jefferies, filmed President and Mrs. Kennedy on Main Street at Lamar in downtown Dallas less than 90 seconds before the assassination. Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy, can be seen riding on the left rear bumper. The donor, Wayne Graham, is the son-in-law of Mr. Jefferies."
