Weekend of Nov. 22 (50th Anniversary of Dallas shooting) and 23 - 24 (JFK Library events); Moment of Silence (2 p.m.)

from JFK Library dot-org online announcement of nationally broadcast Memorial Tribute (1:30 p.m.) A Nation Remembers: A Tribute to President John F. Kennedy November 22, 2013 1:30 p.m. – 2:20 p.m. ET On November 22, 2013, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library will present a televised and webcast musical tribute to President John F. Kennedy, featuring performances in the Library's glass pavilion, a space which Jacqueline Kennedy envisioned as a place for reflection. Additionally, there will be a selection of excerpts read from President Kennedy's most historic speeches, and a moment of silence at 2:00 p.m. ET, when the President's death was announced to the nation 50 years ago. In an effort to allow anyone in the world to join this remembrance, this event will be exclusively for an online audience. There will be no physical audience during these performances – simply the backdrop of the sea that the President loved so dearly as the ceremony is webcasted live at www.jfklibrary.org. Weekend Film Series November 23, 2013 – November 24, 2013 As part of our anniversary programming, throughout the weekend of November 23-24, 2013, the Kennedy Library will offer special film showings for museum visitors. A full schedule of films will be made available here prior to the weekend.
