No. I forgot the documentary. Below though is from a Financial Times article about Texas (this happened nationally in bars throughout the country).
Michael J Bond claims that “no Texan or any American celebrated President John F Kennedy’s death in Dallas” (Letters, October 18).
This simply isn’t true. As historian William Manchester wrote in his 1967 book The Death of a President, there were reports of celebrations in Texas when Kennedy was assassinated. Manchester described a scene of “rejoicing” high school students in the city of Amarillo, and he also wrote: “In Dallas itself a man whooped and tossed his expensive Stetson in the air, and it was in a wealthy Dallas suburb that the pupils of a fourth-grade class, told that the president of the United States had been murdered in their city, burst into spontaneous applause.”

Manchester has been deeply discredited as a fabulist. His WWII book Goodbye Darkness was filled with claims that were later proven to be outright lies. Battles he claimed where he was not present, faked wound claims etc.
I wouldn’t trust anything worn by him.
In Dallas itself a man whooped and tossed his expensive Stetson in the air”
That would be LBJ
