November 22, 1963. A policeman's wife was fetching their sick child
from school. A young shoe store manager had no idea what lay in
wait for him that day. A future president was tending to his farm.
A future vice president was standing on the steps of his college
library. A Georgetown student was looking forward to playing the
piano for the president when he returned to Washington, DC, that
evening. A future movie star was attending his second-grade art
class. Then the news rang out across airwaves, through telephone
lines, and by word of mouth, plunging the country into shock and
sorrow. It's hard to imagine how the last fifty years would have
unfolded if President John F. Kennedy had lived. Would Vietnam have
dragged on until 1974? Would Nixon have come into power? It's
difficult to say-but, combining evocative archival images with the
unique, first-person stories of those who lived through it, Where
Were You? says what the history books can't and offers a fresh look
at what was, what is, and what might have been since that fateful
day. In the two-hour NBC documentary event that this volume
accompanies, special correspondent Tom Brokaw interviewed people
close to the tragedy as well as former heads of state, politicians,
authors, journalists, performers, musicians, and more. He asked
them five simple questions, starting with: Where were you?
Together, their words paint a rich and moving picture of a hopeful
nation torn asunder by grief. It will remind those who lived it of
a pivotal moment in American history, and it bears witness for all
who follow.
