I was raised in The South.
I was 8 years old at the time, in 3rd grade.
All the adults around were convinced LBJ did it.............
You had very smart adults around you.
I was in Dallas - 9th grade, study hall, when the announcement came over the speaker console that JFK had been shot. And saw the broadcast a few days later when Oswald was shot by Ruby. For years this shameful Dallas episode was a black stain on the city. From that time since, government was never to be trusted again. They have certainly lived down to my expectations.
“..All the adults around were convinced LBJ did it.............”
The facts are as publicized. However, people speculated it was LBJ because they knew he was capable of doing it.
