Photo of four U.S. presidents

This photo of four U.S. presidents is from the Nov. 28, 1963, San Antonio News, less than a week after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Found in scrapbooks that belong to the Stockdale Museum, the photo depicts (l-r) Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and former presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman. Johnson was the vice president when the photo was taken on Nov. 18, 1961, at the funeral of former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Sam Rayburn in Bonham, Texas. Johnson became the 36th U.S. president when Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas.
