About this title

Synopsis

THE DAY THE WORLD CRIED AS ONE... 63 stories from Dallas to England to France to Nepal to Japan of how people reacted to and dealt with the assassination of President Kennedy on Friday, November 22, 1963. As the news of the assassination spread the big question on nearly every American’s mind was: “Was the assassination a single act of a lone person, or the start of an attack on America, changing the Cold War into an all out war?” Others around the world asked the same question. People listened to their radios and watched their black and white TVs for the answer. Some stories are only a couple of paragraphs long; others are pages. Together they are the commentary of the "man on the street" on one of the most traumatic days in United States history. Though shaken to its roots by such a devastating event, the threads of commonality in the stories weave a clear pattern of our country's resiliency to remain strong and united whatever the circumstances.
