Jackie Kennedy Made This Bold Statement Shortly After JFK’s Passing, According to a Journalist on the Scene

Jackie Kennedy fearless statement in the hours after John F. Kennedy’s death is being resurfaced in an upcoming documentary.

A trailer for the upcoming second installment of National Geographic’s One Day In America series gave viewers a look inside the former president’s death from the perspective of journalists and bystanders who were in Dallas on November 22, 1963. JFK: One Day In America is set to release on Hulu and Disney+ on November 6.


In the trailer for the series several witnesses recall the former first lady’s actions in the moments after shots rang out in Dallas, claiming the life of her husband. Clint Hill, the U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Jackie who famously jumped on to the back of the presidential limousine to shield the first lady, recounted, “I jumped to the rear bumper. Mrs. Kennedy was screaming, ‘I love Jack.’ I wasn’t fast enough.’”

In the hours that followed, Jackie remained in the now-unforgettable pink Chanel suit that was left covered in her husband’s blood after she held his body in the backseat of the car until they reached a hospital.

“Mrs. Kennedy came forward and I can see blood on her dress, where she cradled the President’s head in her lap and she said, ‘Let them see what they have done,’” a journalist who was working in Dallas that day recalls in the documentary.

President's head exploded, but Mr. Blood and flesh.

This story of Jackie’s poignant assertion has gone through several iterations over the last number of decades. Jackie herself told a version of this to Life magazine in the years after JFK’s assassination. She recalled arriving on board Air Force One with her husband’s casket, finding a change of clothes there and washing JFK’s blood from her face.

“One second later, I thought, ‘Why did I wash the blood off?’ I should have left it there; let them see what they’ve done,” she said, opting not to change out of her blood-stained suit.

Ever aware of the power of imagery, Jackie remained in the suit in images of Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn into office on board the plane — a grim reminder of the slain former president. Reportedly, when offered the option to exit the plane without being photographed, she again insisted, “We’ll go out the regular way. I want them to see what they have done.”

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass is a 2021 American-British[1] documentary film about the assassination of John F. Kennedy directed by Oliver Stone, based on the 1992 non-fiction book Destiny Betrayed: JFK, Cuba, and the Garrison Case by James DiEugenio and on newly declassified evidence about the case.[2][3] It premiered on July 12, 2021, in the Cannes Premiere section at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[4][3]

Stone described it as "an important bookend to my 1991 film. It ties up many loose threads, and hopefully repudiates much of the ignorance around the case and the movie".[2] The film is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland.[5]

Synopsis
After the 1991 film JFK, Congress enacts the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, establishing a review board to declassify assassination-related documents. The film disputes the chain of evidence for the "single bullet" that caused wounds to Kennedy and Governor John Connally. Researcher Barry Ernest, author of the 2010 JFK book The Girl on the Stairs, is interviewed about alleged witness statements purportedly casting doubt on the timeline of Lee Harvey Oswald's movements immediately after the assassination.[6]

Interviewees featured in the film include:

John R. Tunheim[2]
Dr. Henry Lee[2]
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., nephew of President John F. Kennedy.[2]
James K. Galbraith[2]
David Talbot[2]
Cyril Wecht[7]
Production
The film was produced by Ixtlan Productions and Pantagruel Productions with funding by Ingenious Media.[8]

Release
It was released on video on demand on November 12, 2021, and was televised on Showtime on November 22, 2021.[9] It was theatrically released in the U.K. and Ireland by Altitude Film Distribution on November 26, 2021.[8]

Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 63% of 27 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Although it's frustratingly casual with the line between facts and conjecture, JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass reaffirms Oliver Stone's gifts as an engaging raconteur."[10] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[11]

Nicolas Katzenbach
Attorney General next to Robert Kennedy?

Early life and education
Katzenbach was born in Philadelphia and raised in Trenton, New Jersey. His parents were Edward L. Katzenbach, who served as Attorney General of New Jersey, and Marie Hilson Katzenbach, who was the first female president of the New Jersey State Board of Education. His uncle, Frank S. Katzenbach, served as Mayor of Trenton, New Jersey and as a Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court.

He was named after his mother's great-great-grandfather, Nicolas de Belleville (1753–1831), a French medical doctor who accompanied Kazimierz Pu;aski to America and settled in Trenton in 1778.[1][2] Katzenbach was raised an Episcopalian,[3][4] and was partly of German descent.[5]

He attended Phillips Exeter Academy and was accepted into Princeton University. Katzenbach was a junior at Princeton in 1941, enlisting right after Pearl Harbor, and served in the United States Army Air Corps in World War II. Assigned as a navigator in the 381st Bomb Squadron, 310th Bomb Group in North Africa. His B-25 Mitchell Bomber was shot down February 23, 1943, over the Mediterranean Sea off North Africa. He spent over two years as a prisoner of war in Italian and German POW camps, including Stalag Luft III, the site of the "Great Escape", which Katzenbach assisted in. He read extensively as a prisoner, and ran an informal class based on Principles of Common Law.[6][7][8]

He received his A.B. cum laude from Princeton University in 1945 (partly based on Princeton giving him credit for the 500-odd books he had read in captivity).[6] As part of his degree, Katzenbach completed a senior thesis titled The Little Steel Formula: An Historical Appraisal.[9] He received an LL.B. cum laude from Yale Law School in 1947, where he served as editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal.[10] From 1947 to 1949, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford.

On June 8, 1946, Katzenbach married Lydia King Phelps Stokes, in a ceremony officiated by her uncle, Anson Phelps Stokes, former canon of the Washington National Cathedral. Her father was Harold Phelps Stokes, a newspaper correspondent and secretary to Herbert Hoover.[11]

Katzenbach was admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1950 and the Connecticut bar in 1955. He was an associate in the law firm of Katzenbach, Gildea and Rudner in 1950.

Government service
From 1950 to 1952, he was attorney-advisor in the Office of General Counsel to the Secretary of the Air Force. Katzenbach was on the faculty of Rutgers Law School from 1950 to 1951; was an associate professor of law at Yale from 1952 to 1956; and was a professor of law at the University of Chicago from 1956 to 1960.

He served in the U.S. Department of Justice as Assistant Attorney General of the Office of Legal Counsel in 1961–1962 and as Deputy Attorney General appointed by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. After the assassination of President Kennedy, Katzenbach continued to serve with the Johnson administration. On February 11, 1965 President Johnson appointed Katzenbach the 65th Attorney General of the United States, and he held the office until October 2, 1966. He then served as Under Secretary of State from 1966 to 1969. While Under Secretary of State, he commented on the 1967 USS Liberty incident: “There was nobody I think who did not believe that the Israelis knew it was an American ship that they were attacking.”[12]

In September 2008, Katzenbach published Some of It Was Fun: Working with RFK and LBJ (W. W. Norton), a memoir of his years in Government service.

The "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door"
Main article: Stand in the Schoolhouse Door

Alabama Governor George Wallace (in front of door) standing defiantly against desegregation while being confronted by Deputy U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach (standing opposite Wallace) at the University of Alabama.
On June 11, 1963, Katzenbach was a primary participant in one of the most famous incidents of the Civil Rights struggle.[13] Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in front of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama in an attempt to stop desegregation of that institution by the enrollment of two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood. This became known as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door". Hours later, Wallace stood aside only after being ordered to do so by Alabama National Guard General Henry V. Graham.[14]

Role in JFK assassination investigation
Katzenbach has been credited with providing advice after the assassination of John F. Kennedy that led to the creation of the Warren Commission.[15] On November 25, 1963, he sent a memo to Johnson's White House aide Bill Moyers recommending the creation of a Presidential Commission to investigate the assassination.[15][16] To combat speculation of a conspiracy, Katzenbach said the results of the FBI's investigation should be made public.[15][16] He wrote, in part: "The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large".[16]

Four days after Katzenbach's memo, Johnson appointed some of the nation's most prominent figures, including the Chief Justice of the United States, to the Commission.[15][16] Conspiracy theorists later called the memo, one of thousands of files released by the National Archives in 1994, the first sign of a cover-up by the government.[15][16]
