- The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview with Jan Sittel and Dr. Betty Duke-Ruhd as a Living History education program for the fifth grade of Alex Sanger Elementary School in Dallas. Sittel and Duke-Ruhd were both sixteen-year-old juniors at Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Sittel saw President and Mrs. Kennedy arrive at Dallas Love Field, while Duke-Ruhd observed the Kennedy motorcade on Lemmon Avenue. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin. This presentation took place at the Museum on March 8, 2019.

The Sixth Floor Museum and all they do is so impressive. Stephen, you were made for this job. You are one of the best interviewers/educators I have ever seen - always so well prepared, introducing and adding pictures and information, asking questions, but basically encouraging and letting the guests tell their own stories. Living History is now, and will continue to be in the future, an extremely useful resource for anyone interested in this important event in history.
I love watching these. I also love that short musical interlude that opens each episode! It has a melancholy feel to it
Brilliant. I live in Derbyshire, England, I've had a fascination with the Kennedy's for a long time. My mum remembers him as being a good man and says how sad people were here in this country. She says the same about Bobby too. God Bless.
A great interview with the ladies. Stephen Fagin is great also at what he does. 🎉
One of the best episode of the series. Thank you Stephen.
The involuntary motions of their limbs, as they narrate what they saw and felt...priceless...
Absolutely great living history interview ! ! Had the opportunity to do a phone Oral History with Stephen Fagin recently; I am just someone alive on 11/22/63 with a memory of those events via TV. Well worth the brief time for anyone to record their recollections for the Museum.
THE BEATLES
Thank you for sharing these stories!!!
Thanks to Jan and Betty for a history lesson . I was about their age on 11/22/63 .
Great questions from the children!
WOW!! that coat!! Thats when things were made to last. Im so glad that someone has conversations of the people who were at Love Field. Thanks for the explanation of the man with the flag. God bless!
Very interesting and, "eye opening" to listen to Dr. Duke's , explanation of the Confederate Flag picture.
In these days of, politically correct environment, I couldn't fathom this, it gives me a new perspective of the times and, again, I am thankful to this series for bringing it forward.
The host was so excited!! Love this vlog!

I Love That Feild Trip, It Was My Favorite Feild Trip That We Took All Year, And I Learned A Lot!=)
Good for you. Keep learning and thinking. It will contribute to you being a deeper and well rounded person and carry you to so many places you want to be.
I'm so glad you're taking interest in this. The current generations need to learn and understand these 4 days that shaped our nation and world!
That chemistry teacher ... We were lucky when Gerald Ford came to the Detroit area the day before he lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976: My school district was already scheduled to be closed that day! So the high school marching band was recruited to play "Hail To The Chief" and other rousing tunes for the big campaign rally at a shopping center in the next town over, and any of us students -- elementary through high school -- who wanted to see a real-life, in-office president and first lady wouldn't have to take an absence to do it. All we had to do was find a way to get there.
Thanks for another great interview 👍🏻
It's true what they say about the morale lift which The Beatles brought. As for The Beatles themselves, they appear to have concluded at the time of the assassination that America would have zero interest in them when they came to America the following February, and in despair, spent the weekend getting stinking drunk.
Also, when my parents and I, with Texas license plates on our car, went up north for our vacation the following summer, although we were from Houston, not Dallas, just our being from Texas got us a lot of dirty, dark looks from passing drivers.
And the role of the Dallas Cowboys in changing the American public's feelings about Dallas cannot be overestimated.
And the TV show Dallas, as well. Larry Hagman was a Texan.
In 1963 age seven, I nearly got into a fight with another little boy that was bad mouthing President Kennedy. I was the Beaver about open a can of whoop ass. In 1965 I remember those huge Kennedy Halve Dollars, a joy to behold, but few ever meet my pocket.
I was age six that day, mom was suppose to take us from our home in Mineral Wells but the plans fell through. Watching these stories make me feel cheated.

I was about 12-13 in the 7th grade at Robert E Lee Jr High in Pampa Texas. I was horrified that the President was assassinated in my state.
Those Kennedy’s had great hair. So did Jackie.
Vincent Bugliosi's book, "Reclaiming History," does a masterful job of debunking all of the conspiracy theories.
It's BS
Phil Wright
A thousand page book highly researched is all bs? Maybe you should read it. As Bugliosi says, Oswald is implicated directly in the murder by 32 separate pieces of evidence. Other than that I guess he was innocent and all the shots came from the grassy knoll.
@@bscruggs3315 shots came from behind and in front, Someone else fired from behind..not Oswald..Bugliosi's book IS bs..I read it
Phil Wright
"Someone else". Sounds convincing. Other than the fact Oswald fled the scene, ran home and got a hand gun, killed officer tippit, hid in a theater, tried to kill another officer who was arresting him, I'm sure he was innocent. Oh, that and the fact there is zero physical evidence or circumstantial evidence that shot came from the grassy knoll or someone other than Oswald fired the shots, I guess someone else must have done it.
@@bscruggs3315 he didn't kill Tippit, witnesses saw two men and another police car..the WC ignored them..Oswald was set up and he knew it
Been watching more of the Sixth Floor Museun presentations than anyone should.
My impression has gone from intrigue to seeing this as a cottage industry that is picking the weekend of the President's assasination to pieces all the way to the slightest connections possible. Like this guest with her coat and sign.
But it brings milllions to Dallas every year.
Just getting tired of this man who is the keeper of this "oral history".
Only God knows the truth.
This is my impression too. But there are some great interviews I saw!
I was born just two months before the assassination and too far away to have any recall of it. As I grew up and became aware of it, it piqued my interest and sought to find out everything about it. As a history fan, I am so glad there are people like him, doing these interviews. I visited Dallas as a lifelong wish, in the mid 90's, just so I could connect to this eventful place in history. Viewing and listening to all these stories, help fulfill the gaps that are left out in the course of normal reporting, and are greatly appreciated.
Do they make money out of this?
I hope they do. Because the government is not interested (as they should) these are private efforts, whose main purpose, is to perpetuate history.
I can't tell you, the stacks of books and films I have read/watched on the subject, and I'm always open to reading and hearing from everyone who was actually there, when it happened.
If it weren't for the Sixth Floor Museum, the JFK assassination, probably would have been swept away in the pages of history...
I was born in Puerto Rico so, to most Americans back then (and even now) wasn't even thought of being an American citizen, yet, here I am, relishing in the history of a President of the United States.
Cottage Industry?
Unless you visit Dallas and the Sixth Floor Museum, there's no real "Industry" to speak of, so, only people interested in the subject, would actually contribute to it, and the people who do, like me, are very glad it exists, because, as I've said before, the US government only contribution is Arlington Cemetery and JFK's military service, earned him that right...
I believe that, if it weren't for them (the 6th Floor Museum) the Dallas School Book Depository, would've been some kind of shopping store by now.
Yes, you may go into that rabbit hole of time and never come out. Imerge
