This week we remember the solemn anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination fifty years ago. Kennedy rose to prominence at a time when broadcast journalism was moving primarily from radio to television, and NBC was there to document his meteoric career as a public servant. Here, we show images of Kennedy throughout his career, set to the NBC Radio broadcast from the moments surrounding his death.
Contact our staff or browse our website for much more on the life of Kennedy and the tragic circumstances of his death.
