But if you walk just one block south, you will find a towering monument of four walls dedicated to the life and ideas of John F. Kennedy rather than the specter of his assassination.

The JFK Memorial was designed by architect Philip Johnson and dedicated in 1970 to serve as a cenotaph to Kennedy.

John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 22, 1963. ... He was officially pronounced dead at Parkland Memorial Hospital, just north of Dealey Plaza.
