John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, led to widespread shock and grief across the United States. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby two days later, before he could stand trial.

The Warren Commission, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination, concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building in Dallas. The commission's report was released on September 24, 1964.

In the aftermath of the assassination, the U.S. Congress passed legislation to provide protection for major candidates, including Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, and other politicians such as Harold Stassen and George Wallace.

The Gallup Poll reported that the public was concerned about the primary system and the psychology of violence in politics, with 84% saying they wanted change. President Johnson criticized party leaders who only helped elect delegates but did not address the underlying issues.

Robert F. Kennedy's funeral procession took place on June 7, 1968, in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, attended by dignitaries including Cardinal Terence J. Cooke of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

The widow of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Ethel, was consoled by her brother-in-law Edward Kennedy as she sat in a hearse carrying her husband's casket to St. Patrick's Cathedral. The two sons of the slain senator, Joseph and Bobby, helped carry their father's casket into the cathedral.

The mother of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Rose, was escorted out of St. Patrick's Cathedral by her grandson Bobby after the casket had already arrived at the cathedral.

Mrs. John F. Kennedy walked down stairs from a lift truck lowered to retrieve the casket of her brother-in-law, who died in a plane crash.
