Nota curatorial:

U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson's rocky visit to Dallas less than a month before the Kennedy assassination helped to solidify the impression of Dallas as a hateful and violent city in the popular imagination. The incident was mentioned by numerous media outlets following the assassination and contributed to the "city of hate" stigma that befell the community following President Kennedy's tragic death. After witnessing Ambassador Stevenson encounter vocal protestors and get hit on the head with a placard following his speech at Memorial Auditorium, his Dallas host, Stanley Marcus, personally warned Vice President Lyndon Johnson that President Kennedy's upcoming visit to Dallas was "a great mistake." According to Marcus, Johnson replied that it didn't make any difference because the Texas trip was already planned. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
