Dallas Strip Clubs: A photographer’s story: Bob Jackson and the Kennedy Assassination
Jackson worked the Sunday shift in those days and was assigned to photograph the transport of Oswald from the Dallas City Jail to the County Jail. Despite the wishes of the city’s lead detective who wanted to make the transfer in private, the department caved to pressure from the media to move Oswald in front of the cameras.
That morning, Jackson had to fight his assignment desk editor that day who wanted to send him to a different assignment as the transfer of Oswald was more than an hour and a half late.
“I said, ‘You must be kidding,’” he said. “‘There’s no way we’re going to leave here. You know, there’s just no way.’”
Jackson says he knew who Ruby was from visits the nightclub owner had made to the paper to promote one of his strippers, but he didn’t see him in the basement before the shooting.
