President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963
Kennedy was by far one of the most charismatic leaders we’ve ever had. Unfortunately, he was fatally shot twice by Lee Harvey Oswald while he was part of a public celebration marching up through Dallas, Texas.
The nation’s consuming grief over this tragic event allowed his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, to pass two anti-segregation laws, which are known as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Many people concluded that his assassination was premeditated, since on the morning of November 24, while his assassin was transferred from a jail cell to an interrogation office, Oswald was shot by a “distraught” Dallas club owner, known as Jack Ruby. Ruby was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.

That’s odd, I was 14 years old in 1965 but I don’t remember the Lincoln assassination. Also Obama didn’t deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
