On his visit to Dallas on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Suddenly shots were fired, killing JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shots from here.
This 30-foot-high monument was erected in 1970. The open-air structure in the historic West End resembles an ancient tomb. It's the first memorial by famed architect & Kennedy friend Philip Johnson.
