Tying into your IG post, agree, this turning point in our history today seems as relevant to most as the day of the Lincoln assassination. Writer Richard Rodriguez wrote once that Texans, and America , do not focus on death and grief. Noted by psychologists that after the assassination people consciously or unconsciously watched endless hours of television.
But as someone born and raised in that city that was a hotbed of radical JFK sentiment , this day is a significant marker, maybe because of the frustration that we are still fighting an inexhaustible indefinite fight against this conservative nihilism. Remember the most dominant topic at the Kennedy / Nixon debate was the defense of Matsu and Quemoy, not the idealoque issues boiling in 1960 America. We repeatedly side step it all. Incremental progress as both Kennedy’s once noted, is what we fight for.
As an off topic side note my Hispanic mother was appointed by local police who were family friends ( seen in the photos posted of Oswald being escorted out to his assassination) was the interpreter for the International Spanish Press and other local American news sources for the Oswald family. Nothing that Marina or his mother told my mother ever made it into any news source.

I was a young teacher, when I got the news. I left the classroom, collapsed in the hallway, crying uncontrollably. It was the end of my innocence.
