A collection of over sixty teletypes and wire bulletins from across the United States, offering reactions to the news that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. From coast to coast, the Nation mourned and state and local governments lowered their flags and closed their office's Events and performances were canceled, schools were closed, and business halted, and the newly sworn-in President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed a national day of mourning. 8 x 6.5", 8.5 x 11"

Addressing the Nation and the world, Johnson proclaimed:
"John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been taken from us by an act which outrages decent men everywhere. He upheld the faith of our fathers, which is freedom for all men, he broadened the frontiers of that faith and backed it with the energy and the courage which are the mark of the nation he led. A man of wisdom, strength, and peace, he molded and moved the power of our nation...I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this day of mourning.
