Here are some primary documents from my research into my family history. I have a lot of newspaper headlines from the actual event that happened.
American Airline Crash This was a major airplane crash that left no survivors behind. President Kennedy became involved and contaced the Federal Aviation Agency and enlisting their help to prevent this from ever happening again.
Kennedy Assassination
This happened right as my father came to America. Here he was in a new country living his life on the promise of a better future and the president is shot to death. Of course we all know about Kennedy's assassination and how Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the murder and later shot.
What stands out to me the most is the fact that my father came to America for a better life but one of his first memories was the assassination of Kennedy. It didn't matter where in the country or even the world you were, that was a major and shocking event that happened. My father remembers being at gym class in school. Now I think I might want to interview my dad about school and what it was like when he first started going there and Kennedy assassination can be tied into that since he found out as he was at school.
