Solemnly Swearing After a Tragedy
In one of history’s most saddening snapshots, then-Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office inside Air Force Two just hours after President John F. Kennedy’s tragic assassination. The cramped, dim-lit cabin bore witness to a seismic shift in American leadership.
Lyndon’s house press secretary Bill Moyers likened the atmosphere to “the eye of a hurricane”—eerily calm amidst the storm sweeping the nation. In that surreal moment, Lyndon’s solemn face and Jacqueline Kennedy’s stoic presence encapsulated a country’s shock and the weight of unexpected responsibility. It was a gravity-laden ritual that no one onboard would ever forget.
