The Missing JFK Assassination Film

The Mystery Surrounding the Orville Nix Home Movie of November 22, 1963

By: Gayle Nix Jackson

Orville Nix is not the typical JFK assassination book. This book does not attempt to answer the question of who killed John F. Kennedy; instead, it addresses why we should question the actions of those involved and why the truth was withheld from the people. Though copies of Orville Nix’s film exist, the original film is missing. Why? The FBI confiscated Orville’s camera for several months, then returned it in pieces. Were these actions sinister or were they just examples of governmental incompetence? Orville Nix exposes information about the House Select Committee staff’s involvement in the missing film. Author Gayle Nix Jackson’s interviews with people who were close to Orville and the film will shed light on the government’s involvement with the filmmaker. Gayle Nix Jackson is the granddaughter of Orville Nix. As his eldest granddaughter, Nix Jackson shares experiences growing up with her beloved grandfather and on how his views changed after that fatal day. Hearing his story precipitated the quest Jackson is still on to find the film. Her grandfather was there that day for a reason, and if the original Nix film could be located, modern-day technology could determine if there was indeed another person behind the stockade fence or not. Questions still abound today as to whether or not the film was altered. Finding the original Nix film would answer one of the most enduring questions related to this horrific event: Was there a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963?

Orville Nix

The Missing JFK Assassination Film

By: Gayle Nix Jackson

Author Gayle Nix Jackson explores the mystery of the lesser known home movie of the assassination made by her grandfather, Orville Nix in her debut book, Orville Nix: The Missing JFK Assassination Film. The Nix camera original film is missing and all that exists today are copies. This isn?t your dry, encyclopedic JFK book. This book is very different. It begins with the story of the assassination then takes the reader into the lives of Orville Nix, his family, his workplace and then examines with an empathetic pen how the government, the media and others exploited, took for granted and ignored Orville Nix?s testimony as to what he saw on November 22, 1963.Based on her research, her adoration of her Dallas roots and love of her grandfather, the book flows with a style that could best be described as the prosaic love child of Tom Clancy and Fannie Flagg with a bit of philosophy thrown in for good measure. Nix Jackson accurately describes the times, the political temperature and the places of Oak Cliff and Dallas, Texas in a way only a native could. She also questions the motivations of the city leaders at the time as well as the alphabet agencies of the government, the Texas Oil movers and shakers and the media manipulation of this horrid event in our history.Does she answer the unanswerable question as to who killed JFK? No. But she does offer an insightful and persuasive argument as to why it is necessary to find the missing Nix film.

Cramton Bowl

By: Tim Gayle

When Cramton Bowl was completed in 1922, no one had any idea of the unique place it would occupy in sports history. It was originally conceived as a multi-purpose facility that would focus on baseball and served as the spring training home for the Philadelphia A's for two seasons, with many professional teams stopping in for exhibition games, including a rematch of the 1926 World Series between the Yankees and the Cardinals in 1927. As the largest established stadium in the state during those early years, Alabama and Auburn played more than 70 football games in the facility, treating fans to the likes of Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Hudson. It was home to the first HBCU Classic, the Turkey Day Classic between Alabama State and Tuskegee, and the site of the first night football game in the South (as well as the first night college football game and the second pro baseball game under the lights in the South). For more than 60 years it was home to the Blue-Gray All Star Football Classic where stars such as Y.A. Tittle, Len Dawson, Fran Tarkenton, Howie Long and Jerry Rice roamed the sidelines of Cramton Bowl, but there were plenty of other activities in the stadium during that time, including 'Lucky' Teter's traveling daredevil show in 1934, the Negro League World Series, games involving the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and Billy Graham's Greater Montgomery Crusade in 1965.
