The event that was the loss of innocence for my dad was when the President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Title:"Death of a president: John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas 40 years ago this month. For many people, it marked the end of an era."
Authors: Price, Sean, and Ian Zach
This article is contains different facts about John F. Kennedy and the events leading up to his assassination. John F. Kennedy was a Massachusetts Democrat before he became President. He was 43 years old and his wife's name was Jacqueline. His wife was with him when he was killed. He was in Dallas, Texas before the 1964 presidential race. Texas was an important electoral state in the presidential race. These are the important facts that I found from the article.

Title:"1963: HISTORY AS TRAGEDY." Author: Meyer, Karl E. The article had some important facts and a important response about John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was killed in an open limousine and thousands of people came to see him even though he wasn't well known there. Businesses all across the U.S shut down to mourn his death that day. Three major television networks aired coverage for three days in a row about his assassination. Frances Green from Alabama, who was a high school student said, "A girl came through the halls at school screaming about it when it happened. When my teacher found out about it, she laid her head down and cried." This is an example of how stunned and outraged the nation was about it. Citation: Meyer, Karl E. "1963: HISTORY AS TRAGEDY."

This article was about different people's experiences on the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The first person was James Foley who worked for the military in Germany back when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He went back to Dallas, where John F. Kennedy was killed, and he started crying. Two kids who were in school when it happened didn't realize the kind of impact that it had, but they do remember seeing their teachers crying when the news that the President came in over the loud speaker. The whole article has to do with people's reactions to the President getting assassinated.
