DALLAS (AP) - A museum that chronicles the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kenney in Dallas will receive more photos of media coverage of the tragedy.
The Dallas Morning News will donate about 2,000 photos to The Sixth Floor Museum. The announcement came on the eve of Saturday’s 51st anniversary of the fatal shooting of JFK.
The archive from The Dallas Morning News (https://bit.ly/1BY5eSi ) includes about 1,500 negatives and nearly 500 prints, in black and white. Some of the photos have never been seen by the public.
The museum on Wednesday announced images are being donated from two photographers from other publications, including photos related to assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Former Dallas Times Herald photographer Eamon Kennedy donated about 1,200 photographs. Ex-Fort Worth Press photographer Gene Gordon donated more than 400 images.
