To mark the 50th anniversary of the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Buzzfeed offers a collection of newspaper screenshots featuring the news as it was disseminated after the event.
Do you recall what you were doing on November 22, 1963? Due to the fact that my small town had no kindergarten, and it was cold outside, I was watching TV with my mother when the news broke. She identified with Jackie Kennedy, as the Kennedy's children were close in age to hers. I was too young to understand how momentous the news was, but when Mom cried, I cried, too, and then my little brother cried. The news over the next few days were my introduction into government and politics.
If you were around then, please share your story of that day in the comments.
