Living History with Johnny Rincon, Richard Clark and Lisa Hembry
Join Museum Curator Stephen Fagin for a special Living History program featuring motorcade spectators Johnny Rincon, Richard Clark and Lisa Hembry, Viernes Agosto 30 at 1 p.m. Included with Museum admission.
Johnny Rincon grew up in the Little Mexico area of Dallas and saw the Kennedy motorcade on Turtle Creek Boulevard. A yearbook photographer at North Dallas High School in 1963, Richard Clark took pictures of the Kennedy motorcade on Lemmon Avenue and later captured images inside school classrooms as students reacted to news of the assassination. One of Richard Clark’s photographs – showing the Kennedy motorcade on Lemmon Avenue near the Oak Lawn intersection – may be viewed here: https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/21610. A community leader who has served as president of the Dallas Historical Society (1999-2001) and Dallas County Treasurer (2002-2006), Lisa Hembry was a student in Oak Cliff in 1963. She saw the Kennedy motorcade on Main Street.

Kennedy’s two-day trip through Texas with rarely seen objects and eyewitness interviews from each city the president visited, including Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Dallas. Each Viernes during the exhibitions run, Museum staff host a special gallery talk at 1:00 p.m., offering an in-depth look beyond the exhibition.
