Jackie

 

Today, on the eve of the 51st anniversary of the assassination of JFK, we visited the School Book Depository's Sixth Floor Museum. Prior to the museum we had taken the JFK trolley tour which pointed out Oswald's rooming house, the site where Officer Tippitt was slain, the Texas theater where Oswald was captured and other historic places.  On exhibit at the museum are 9x6' portraits of JFK and Jackie. Done by Alex Guofeng Cao, each pixel within the portrait is a much smaller picture. In the case of Jackie, there are 50,000 tiny portraits of her husband.

Although I've often driven the motorcade route and passed by the School Book Depository on trips to Dallas, I'd never visited the museum.  It was moving, especially recalling that period of history that I lived.  And then as we were leaving, the reincarnation of Jackie crossed the street in front of us.
