The Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas has released new silent home-movie footage of JFK's Houston visit to a LULAC chapter in the Rice Hotel the night before he was murdered.
Roy Botello, a LULAC official, shot the film. It shows Kennedy with his professional smile on, greeting visitors in a receiving line. The smile on Jackie's face seems a little more forced, although she did score big by speaking easily in Spanish later to the crowd.
