Today in History: Nov. 22.

On November 22, 1963, President John F Kennedy, is assassinated in Dallas Texas, while riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza.

Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the crime, but his subsequent murder two days later by Jack Ruby, added layers of suspicion and intrigue.

The Warren Commission, established by President Lyndon B Johnson to investigate the assassination, concluded in 1964 that Oswald acted alone, however the Ruby shooting was so startling that the commission’s conclusion was unable to overcome the numerous conspiracy theories and widespread skepticism.

Theories suggesting the involvement of various groups, including the Mafia, the Soviet Union, the CIA, and even elements of the U.S. government, have persisted.

The Kennedy assassination remains one of the most scrutinized and debated events in American history, highlighting the enduring impact of that fateful day in Dallas.
