Description
New Yorkers gather around a radio store on November 22, 1963 as they hear the tragic news of President Kennedy's assassination. Asking the question, "Where were you when you heard that the president had been shot?" was a uniting ritual and way to accept the terrible tragedy for my parents' generation.
