On the morning of November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline stepped off Air Force One, smiling and waving to the crowd in Dallas. He wore a dark, elegant suit; she, a pink Chanel-style outfit with a pillbox hat — an image that would soon become tragically iconic.

This photograph captures the final moments of calm before one of the most shocking events of the 20th century: the assassination of President Kennedy, which occurred less than an hour later in Dealey Plaza.

The image stands as a powerful symbol of a turning point in American history, marking the end of an era and the beginning of national mourning and political transformation.
