Condolences to Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy
On November 21, 1963, President Kennedy made a political trip to Texas to raise money for his reelection campaign and smooth over internal Democratic Party frictions between liberals and conservative Governor John Connally that were weakening the party in the state. While in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, he was fatally shot at 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963. A. Philip Randolph sent this letter of condolence to Jacqueline Kennedy later that afternoon. |
