48th Anniversary of Kennedy Assassination
John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. On the 48th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, tributes are pouring in via the media of the day: the internet.
Below you'll see some iconic videos of John F. Kennedy in action. Watch for JFK's 1961 inaugural address ("Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"), his speech during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the "Ich Bin ein Berliner" speech.
JFK is also being lionized on Twitter, though many of those tweeting #JFK quotes and tributes would not yet have been born when Kennedy was killed.
Zapruder Film: Accidental Citizen Journalism
You can also see the infamous Zapruder film, on which Abraham Zapruder inadvertently captured the JFK assassination on video. The Zapruder film is only 26 seconds long, and was shot on 8mm safety film.

Watching the Zapruder film, it seems obvious that President Kennedy was shot in the face, from in front. Am I hallucinating? It would have been interesting today with thousands of people catching it on their cell phone cameras. It would have been harder for the Warren Commission to cover it up.
