Description

"On November 22, 1963, at precisely 12:30 PM, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the youthful 35th President of the United States drove triumphantly into this square, where hundreds waited to cheer him...and where another waited as well. Seconds later a dying President sped away from Dealey Plaza -- into history, into legend, into a national nightmare of suspicion that persists to this day."
 
--Walter Cronkite, opening a special four-part CBS News inquiry on the Warren Report, June 25, 1967
 
Walter Cronkite said suspicion about the Kennedy assassination persists to this day. He said that in 1967. But it also applies to 2023.
 
In the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly" - we mark the 60th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination by focusing on one specific surviving artifact from November 1963 ... The Zapruder film. … We hear how the Zapruder film was reported on that CBS News inquiry into the Warren Report -- and we even hear from Abraham Zapruder himself.
