Re: Jackie Kennedy's Pink Dress
Why is that different than having the car in which Kennedy was assassinated
on permanent display (Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village)?
Is that cause for consternation? Is that indecent?
Also, HFM&GV does have Lincoln's chair in which he was shot, also on
permanent display. It is my understanding that it is considered a relic and
conservation/preservation teams do their best to preserve the blood stains.
So, what's the deal with the dress?
