The tour begins where the city holds its silence — before the stark, open cenotaph of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza. In the space between granite walls and the downtown skyline, a guide outlines the route: Dealey Plaza, the Grassy Knoll, the Oswald rooming house, the Texas Theatre and the Sixth Floor Museum. The walk moves between pavement and memory, an urban corridor that forces a close read of place and event.
