Thousands of JFK assassination files revealed - Kyng - 12-16-2022

The White House has ordered the release of thousands of documents on the murder of US President John F Kennedy in full for the first time.

With the publication of some 13,173 files online, the White House said more than 97% of records in the collection were now publicly available.

No huge revelations are expected from the papers, but historians hope to learn more about the assassination.

Kennedy was shot during a visit to Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963.

A 1992 law required the government to release all documents on the assassination by October 2017.

Well, it's a little late, but better late than never, I suppose .

They do say no new bombshells are expected from any of these documents - but hopefully, they'll prove to be of value to historians!

Interesting. I've been to the museum in Dallas concerning the assassination, and perhaps the added info from the files can be added in there.

That does sound interesting... if I'm ever in Dallas at any point, I'll have to go there!

(I know I've already told you about this, but I'll repeat it just for everyone else: I studied his assassination in my Year 9 History lessons. At the end of the year, the teacher wrote down the list of topics that we'd studied... but when she wrote down "The assassination of JFK", she made the mistake of abbreviating 'assassination' to just its first three letters )
