Label TextOn Sunday, November 24, 1963, the flag-draped casket of the slain president was carried on a horse-drawn caisson from the White House to the United States Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket. This was the scene when the president’s immediate family visited. Photographic images like this one, capturing their dignity and the children’s compelling innocence, moved a worldwide audience.
