Overview
An original issue of the Long Island Press from Tuesday, November 26, 1963, Suffolk Edition, the day after President John F. Kennedy's funeral. The front page carries the banner headline "The Day a Grieving World Stood Still," a large photo of Jacqueline Kennedy in her mourning veil, and a photo of three nuns in prayer. Beside them run the stories "Johnson to Push JFK's Program," "Addresses Congress Tomorrow" and "President Moves Into His Office." The back page of the front section carries AP Wirephotos of Mrs. Kennedy receiving the flag that covered her husband's casket and of nuns at the graveside, with the stories "Midnight Visit to the Grave Ends Jackie's Long Day," "Johnson Orders a Full Report on Assassination for the People," "Kennedy Stadium Instead of Shea?" and "Connally Sees Funeral on TV." Inside pages carry national and Long Island news, columns and period advertisements. The paper has a warm tan tone and suits a history collection, or the front page can be framed for a study, office or library wall.
