This month marks 50 years since John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas. In their new book, Dallas 1963, Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis examine the city’s culture in the early 1960s and the events that led up to JFK’s death on Nov. 22. Then, as now, the far right wing of American politics was becoming increasingly paranoid and agitated. In the following excerpt, Minutaglio and Davis recount Martin Luther King Jr.’s little-known visit to Dallas in January 1963.
