Sixth Floor Museum Living History with Buell Wesley Frazier

Today Caleb along with other members of the Youth Advisory Committee hosted another Living History at the Sixth Floor Museum.  Mr. Buell 'Wesley' Frazier was an employee of the Texas School Book Depository, Frazier occasionally drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work, including Nov. 22, 1963. Frazier witnessed the assassination and was questioned extensively by Dallas investigators.

 

Mr. Frazier was 19 years old when he drove President Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, to work on the morning of Friday, November 22, 1963.  Investigators believe that Oswald took his rifle to work in Mr. Frazier's car, but in listening to Mr. Frazier tonight he is convinced that the package in the back seat of his car was not large enough to hold a rifle. 

Today’s event was sold out with people traveling across several states to hear Mr. Frazier speak and ask him questions.  Mr. Frazier has not told his story, other than to the Warren Commission for the last five decades.  Today was the first opportunity he has taken to answer question and tell his story.  It was fascinating to hear him describe Oswald in an everyday setting, as a co-worker etc. 

The museum's Associate Curator, Stephen Fagin, served as the moderator.  Fagin is the author of ASSASSINATION AND COMMEMORATION: JFK, Dallas, and TheSixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.  Mr. Fagin has taken the members of the Youth Advisory Committee thru the archives and shown them lots of great items, including the shackles worn by Jack Ruby.

This is also why you pay taxes,
for the authorities are God’s servants,
who give their full time to governing.  

Give to everyone what you owe them:
If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue,
then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Romans 13:6-7
