It’s been 50 years since the nation was shocked by the assassination of our land’s 35th president. Today, thousands gather at his memorial in Arlington, VA to pay their respects, as well in Dallas, TX where he was shot. This kind of tragedy makes us wonder why? Why would this happen to such a person? In an interview with NBC’s Tom Brokaw, former president Bill Clinton said, “He meant something to the country and he symbolized the future. And it was as if he was snuffed out.” There have been numerous conspiracy theories surrounding President Kennedy’s death. Perhaps this is because there was never an actual trial. The main suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald was killed too before he could stand trial. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/11/18/21480070-so-consequential-an-act-50-years-later-jfk-conspiracy-theories-endure?lite
There have been books, movies, tv shows dedicated to solving the murder of the president. The most recent has been the book by Bill O’Reilly, Killing Kennedy, which then turned into a docudrama by the National Geographic channel. It starred Rob Lowe and Ginnfer Goodwin as JFK and Jackie O. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/killing-kennedy/
The nation has always been fascinated with the Kennedy’s and their legacy. I wander if the hype would be as big if the assassination plot had been proven. There is so much mystery there, I think that is why it continues to serve as such a big spotlight in the media.
