Jack Ruby: The Man Who Shot Lee Harvey Oswald

Jack Ruby, the Dallas nightclub owner who shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live national television two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, is profiled by those who knew him: brother Earl Ruby, Dallas Morning News columnist Tony Zoppi, entertainers Breck Wall and Joy Dale, and Dallas Police Officer W.E. "Rusty" Robbins. The video includes actual footage from KRLD-TV's coverage of the shooting and a snippet from Ruby's Carousel Club. It was produced as part of a 2010 Collections Spotlight exhibit at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza that highlighted collections relating to Ruby, including the iconic grey fedora Ruby was wearing when he shot Oswald.
