As the nation marked the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, several surviving witnesses shared their stories. Peggy Simpson, an Associated Press reporter who was at the scene minutes after the shooting, recounted her experience and the urgency to relay information to her editors. Simpson is now 84 and emphasized the importance of preserving the voices from that time period. Clint Hill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who famously jumped onto the back of the president's car after he was shot, also shared his recollections in a three-part series by National Geographic called "JFK: One Day in America." The series combines interviews with surviving witnesses and colorized archival footage. The stories from these witnesses provide insight into the behind-the-scenes events and contribute to the broader understanding of the assassination. The passing of time means that many of the individuals who were present during that fateful day have already passed away, making their testimonies all the more valuable and poignant.
