Roy Botello Film

The Rice Hotel in Houston was the second stop of a planned five-city
Texas visit that was to have finished at a fund-raiser dinner in
Austin. The Kennedy assassination happened in Dallas the next day.

Shortly before 9 p.m. in the hotel's grand ballroom, President Kennedy
spoke to a group of several hundred from the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC). He then introduced First Lady Jacqueline
Kennedy who spoke, without notes, in Spanish. The room erupted in
cheers of "olé."

The film was recently donated to the Museum by Roy Botello who, at the
time, served as the first Scholarship Corporation Chairman of LULAC in
San Antonio. He brought along his home movie camera that evening and
captured silent color film of the Kennedy arrival, welcoming
dignitaries, a mariachi band and both Kennedys addressing the crowd.
