Living History with Joe Carter

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview with former UPI reporter Joe Carter. Overnight editor for the southwestern division of United Press International (UPI) in 1963, Carter was aboard a White House Press bus in the Dallas motorcade when he heard shots fired in Dealey Plaza. He covered the aftermath at Parkland Memorial Hospital and Dallas Love Field. Years later, he became a speechwriter for President Lyndon Johnson. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin. This presentation took place at the Museum on April 26, 2024.
