- The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview with Jim Walker as a Living History education program, connected online via Distance Learning to students at Park Forest Middle School in State College, Pennsylvania. A mail sorter at the Terminal Annex building in Dealey Plaza in 1963, Walker photographed the presidential motorcade from the corner of Main and Market streets. On the afternoon of the assassination, he photographed the scene at Dealey Plaza and the Texas Theatre. Mr. Walker donated his images to The Sixth Floor Museum in 2006. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.
This presentation took place at the Museum on December 16, 2016.

Of the many interviewed witnesses of that day Mr Walker still has a very clear memory of what he saw and felt .
My grandfather worked at the Dallas Post Office so he may have known this gentleman. He was working that day in 1963 as well
Mr Walker took some fantastic photographs.
Some really great photos here! Great interview.
The one of the flowers is cool ,I am a car fan of the sixties and a brand new 64 white Thunderbird is driving by . The Thunderbird is only a few weeks old .
This museum and it's staff are true national treasures.
Told me to shut up then deleted it? That's about right for your ilk. BTW, the museum is and always has been a WC apologist. They have some good people on here to interview but NEVER ask the tough questions when the opportunity presents itself. Now go ahead and Hit Me With Your Best Shot.
Lee Oswald would take you up on that😀
+jon122569 Ok, good one. Couldn't help but laugh at that one :D
I deleted my comment out of respect for Mr. Walker. Rest assured your feelings didn't enter into my decision. It worked out anyway. By all means keep talking and showing us all how you figured out this crime using only the internet. Great job, Sherlock.
+Tony Wood Haha. Internet? When you get it wrong you really get it wrong. For over 30 years I've had the complete set of the Warren Commission volumes as well as the HSCA volumes. I've talked to quite a few witnesses including Dallas doctors as well as researchers from both sides of the issue.
I've many documents in my possession that you have not even a clue of their existence. Yes, even been mentioned in some books. Does that make me a genius? Absolutely not but I sure have a clearer understanding of this case than you possibly could.
You are usual and typical and you bore me. Now like the schoolyard bully that you are go and pick on somebody weaker than yourself. That might be a little difficult but I'm sure you can do it. Get well soon :-)
I drive by the book depositary all the time so am fairly familiar with what Karen Westbrook Scanton was describing. Karen said 1. She was standing right next to the Stemmons freeway sign; 2. The shots she heard were from behind her (19:27). Go to googlemaps, find the sign and you will see what is directly behind it -- the grassy knoll! The building where she worked is way to the left of her. Today's sign is different from 1963 one but its located at the same spot.
The man had a keen eye for photography back in the day.he captured some good stuff
Excellent questions. Congrats students!
The curator is awesome with the students. That would have been the best field trip ever!!
Last question was the best question. Many interesting questions came out today as it is the Best episode of the series. Many beautiful pictures belong to this episode. I didn't find words to describe how I felt very happy watching this episode. Want to thank Stephen and Jim walker for their wonderful contribution.
Very nice man. Friendly guy.
Good story teller and magnificent photos.
I could have a beer with this man.
Good stuff
Mr walker is a national treasure
Great interview with a nice man. So glad he took those photos.
hello I am 37 years old and an enjoying your living history series. I became interested in the JFK assassination in high school bc Lee Harvey Oswald had attended my high school (Arlington Heights). It was also only a few years before my freshman year there that the JFK movie had come out with Kevin Costner. In watching this particular interview something occurred to me. I remember in the JFK movie that one of the lady witnesses (Mary Moorman or Jean Hill maybe?) said that they saw a man running in the opposite direction from the knoll, (and if I recall correctly some of the men witnesses also stated this in one of the books, possibly Jim Marr's Crossfire), and it occurred to me that the man they saw might have been Mr. Walker here. Of course we may never have a way of knowing now, but I just wanted to share my thought on here in case anyone else was interested.
"Suggesting that shots were fired." 😂🤣
Stephen, I'm really enjoying watching you make these creeps squirm. Good job! I hope this means justice is coming.
You're kidding, right?!
I hope you’re joking?
Didn’t Mrs Postal die in 1995? 33 years after the picture of her. Also I noticed the 6th floor window had been closed by the time he returned to Dealy.
17:46: The man in suit on the right with shades was also at Parkland Hospital after Lee had been brought in on 11/24. Nobody knows who he is.
At 13:04: that Ol' Dirty Dawg at 6'4 inches, Lyndon Baines Johnson, is as looooow in the car seat as he can get....almost at head level as 5'1 inches Lady Bird...LOL. He ain't wavin' to nobody! Looks as scared as a nun in a rollercoaster ride 😞
He knew what was gonna happen!!!
Oh stop the consporacy shit
@@randyharris3175 You still gettin' paid but never laid! Effin' clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheListOf What a immature comment I do not het paid for jack shit get that through your slow mind. Dont be jealous of my knowlege study the fscts and make toir own knowledge then you will be less inclined to make these laughable statements.
@@randyharris3175 I'm not laughing. I'm deathly serious.
You've been a narrative-hugger PAID TROLL for YEARS on JFK assassination channels, particularly on THIS channel.
Stupid conspiracy.
JW agrees with the findings of the Warren Commission Report ? Come on now Jim. Get real man.
Anybody with a brain does
@@randyharris3175 Never laid in your life. 🤣🤣😅😅😂😂😂
@@TheListOf Never had a rational thought in your life, did you pallie? That explains why you're such a sucker for fictional conspiracies.
@@wallacebell4311 Then why are you squealing like a little pig?
Reality sucks. Stupid conspiracies are far more interesting, and make you seem clever.
Doesn't he know that the government decided there was a conspiracy theory?
The "government" did not decide "there was a conspiracy theory." You decided that, mistakenly.
I have to take issue with one belief he has, as many others state the very same conclusion proving no conspiracy.
He says he agrees with Gary Mack that if there was a conspiracy that somebody would have talked by now. Many were saying that 10 years after the assassination.
Now here is my rebuttal to that. We have a situation where an American president was shot down in cold blood. For those who would be involved in the planning and execution of this it would not be something you would be proud of the world knowing. I don't believe anybody would want their name to go down in history as being a part of this nor would they want their family's name to be connected to it. Not to mention being executed for murder if not for treason.
There were a good many people who were involved with and knew about the hiding of the American Embassy workers in Iran in what they call the "Canadian Caper", or Argo. That secret was kept for 17 years without any leaks to the public or to the news media.
This was a situation that would not have involved any trial or jail time or anybody's execution. Their family name would not be tarnished nor would they go down in history as being some evil psychopath. This was a situation that people would want to tell the story of and to celebrate. Yet not a whisper of what happened until the governments themselves decided to release the information.
So between the two occurrences which one is more likely to have been leaked and discovered? I would be shocked if anybody involved in the assassination would in any way tell anybody and I mean anybody of their involvement.
This point that no one has come forward to admit their involvement is probably the poorest example I can imagine of proof of no conspiracy.
53 pieces of evidence agsinst oswald throw your conspiracy out the window
Well it didn’t take long for Lincoln conspiracy to unravel. It would have likely been exposed if there was a conspiracy here. Not 100% but very likely. More importantly look at all the evidence that points to Oswald alone. He would have been found guilty for certain if he went to trial.
Hey Bob your theory is ridiculous how long did it take for Watergate to come out we talking about the govt.Also the impractibility of someone approaching somebody to even talk about an assassination is not feasible to me.
@@randyharris3175 My theory is ridiculous to you because you refused to even consider the possibility.
@@randyharris3175 Based on what? The Warren Commission non-investigation of 1964????
🤣🤣😆😆😅😅🤣🤣😂😆🤣
