You can get the latest news on aljazeera. Com. On america tonight the joy well never forget. The story of president kennedys Lasting Legacy and his last voyage. We have the transfer of power, the official of state business, going on just a few feet in front. And here we have the private horror of a widow with her murdered husband. Also tonight, fading away, capturing what might be the last looks of a vanishing culture. I believe these people have a wealth, an emotional wealth, cultural wealth that we do not have any more. And big dreams, small space. Adam may little tread. It will always be my place. It wont get away. From the museum in washington, d. C. And the three shots were fired exhibit focused on the assassination of john f. Kennedy, im joie chen, thanks for being with us. Its been 50 years since president kennedys death, but his life remains a fascination. That trip on air force 1, dallas to washington with two president s on board, one slain and one newly sworn in. John hendren explains. As the body of john f. Kennedy made a final voyage, inside air force one there was disbelief and the transmission. The state business of the republic is going on just a few feet in front and here we have the private horror and pathos of a widow with her murdered husband. President kennedy died at approximately 1 00 Central Standard time which is about 35 minutes ago. Every american alive in 1963 remembers the day. I was in third grade at the time. I can remember when it happened. I was in school. Its taken half a century for the full story of kennedys last flight on air force 1 to be told. Recent accounts reveal it was a tense one filled with strained moments as when Lyndon Johnson walked into the president ial cabin and laid down. Kennedy steps in the doorway and looks, it had to be extremely awkward. The Vice President and staff who usually traveled on air force 2 joined kennedys on a cramped air force 1. Both camps climbed aboard with different takes on the same idea. This was the president s plane. The plane that carried jfk is on display at Wright Air Force base. It carried him to berlin. Let them come to berlin. And it later carried richard nixon. This captains log records the historic transfer of power. Here on november 22nd you can see where he logged in, what was to be a threeday or fourday trip, unfortunately, it was cut short. This actually came from the president s bed. And this one from the first ladys bed. Inside air force 1 a grieving jacqueline kennedy, had her first whiskey. Lady bird johnson heard a secret Service Agent say, weve never lost a president before. And beside mrs. Kennedy. President s coffin was carried up these stairs. When they couldnt carry it inside they had to cut off the handles. They flatly refused to carry it in the cargo space. The staircase was taken away, for a few moments, leaving a forgotten president johnson behind. Before the kennedy presidency the white house was associated more often with politically statements than fashion statements but of course first Lady Jackie Kennedy changed that. The sight of her and her blood stained pink suit and her pill box hat. Her accompanying the president to texas was a rare trip. On that fateful day in an event at fort worth she made a stunning entrance. President kennedy himself could not help but take notice and tip his hat to her in her immaculate dress sense. Two years ago, i introduced myself as the man who accompanied mrs. Kennedy to paris. Im getting that same sense now. Nobody cares what lyndon and i wear. That iconic pink suit made by chanel. Michael ro rodriguez is with us. His father was part of bringing that to the nation. Everybody knows it was made by the house of chanel. Everybody remembers it that way but you say no. It was a chanel suit but it wasnt made by chanel and wasnt made in france. My father made the dress. Your father Jack Horowitz . Gentlemen. The story goes, which ive always heard, jackie wanted the symbolism of thatout fit, she wanted that dress, that suit rather, to be made in america. So she went to a boutique on the east side and she had commissioned a line by line, a thread by thread copy of that chanel suit and that boutique farmed out the work to a shop that was owned by Oscar De La Renta where my father was working as a sample maker and as a finisher. My father was a concentration camp survivor and the symbolism of the whole thing was pretty big and its lasting to this very day here in our little chat here. Today we would call that a knockoff and you would sort of wonder why mrs. Kennedy certainly had the resources and the attention of any designer in the world, certainly the house of chanel would have made it directly for her as well. Why did she want so much for this particular suit to be americanmade . I can only imagine, ive been thinking about that. But in those days the early 60s the Garment Industry was big, it was huge in america. Seventh avenue, in the 30s from Harold Square up to times square, you couldnt walk up the streets because there were people pushing racks and racks of clothing. Nowadays everything is made in china. And the International LadiesGarment Workers Union of which my father was a member was a very, very powerful union and i can only imagine she didnt want to upset anybody. Your father clearly knew what he was doing, he was making a suit for the first lady. Yes. I dont remember until afterwards but my older sister tells me that it was a big topic of conversation in my house, that my father was making a suit for the first lady. And she wore it. She was quite pleased with it. It wasnt on this occasion only that she wore the suit. No, and im very, very happy about that. My father, from having a very faimous suit to having made a very infamous suit. I felt gratified that at least jackie got to wear the suit under happier circumstances for a period of time. Because it must be really weird to have had your only claim to fame be so stained. After what happened 50 years ago today. Yeah. Did your sister recall the pride that he had in being involved in something that, at that high a level . I mean really this is the woman known even today as one of the great fashion icons of all time. He dressed her. Yes. There was even pride after the shooting because i remember i was three years old when the assassination happened. They talked about it, but i get the sense that it was kind of a subdued way of discussing it. Because its really hard to brag about this after what happened. And let me tell you one other anecdote. I managed to i bumped into Jackie Onassis when i was in hyde park in new york, i sat next to jfk junior one time on a plane and i met caroline. I wanted to tell them my connection with their family and i couldnt do it because it just felt so weird. Certainly though, quite an important memory. And a story that we all thought we knew but theres really more too it than that. Thank you so much michael. Thank you for having me. The president s death certainly a moment we cant forget and one that changed so much on that day, 50 years ago. Frank mankewicz, a former press secretary to robert kennedy. I noticed in john hendrens report, earlier, were now at 50 years later getting the full story. Do you think we really have the full story of what happened . No i dont. What do you think is missing . Well, i dont know. Most americans, the large majority of americans doubt the warren commissions official verdict. On the assassination . Yes. So somewhere, the truth lies and i dont think anyone really has picked it up in full yet. But it involves clearly organized crime. Maybe cuban compiles and maybe some exiles. Do you think he was ever compromised . I dont think so. He asked me to study all the literature and look at all the data and make sure i knew he ale could. I became kind of a buff. Did he have that sense too that his life would also i think he doubted it, he didnt give serious thought to it, it was too much for him, not a subject he wanted to talk about at all. Remember he gave a speech in indianapolis after Martin Luther king had been killed. He talked about, its the only time in public that he talked about the assassination of president kennedy. And he referred to him as a member of my family, he never even named him. He said for those of you full of anger, remember a member of my family was killed by a white man. And so and he went on from there to talk about the need for understanding and compassion. But he never even called him by name. And in private either he very rarely. Very rarely wanted to discuss it. I wonder why you think you know with so much attention, so much interest, the warren report and everything after, why dont we know more . Well, its an enormous crime. Whoever did it. Ive always wondered who in intelligence terms, who was running oswald. And its so enormous that nobody wanted to talk, and now i would assume that everybodys gone to their graves with those secrets or if not, they will soon. Do you think that our country will ever really recover from that, have that closure . I think our country changed because of the assassination of president kennedy. I think we came weve come to accept violence as a part of life, weve come to sort of abandon slowly the notion that our institutions are serious and wellmeaning, and have only the good of the country at heart. We now question almost every official statement. Every policy. Its become a a vastly different country, i think, than it was in 1960. Extraordinary times. Frank man keweicz, thanks for being with us. Thank you. Ahead, disappearing countries and cultures ahead. Well talk about a photographer who is trying to capture them before they slip away. And coming up, not necessarily an open floor plan. Were going osurvey the tiny real estate market, ahead. Investigative journalism at its toughest. And now a thought from the more compact among us. Is small beautiful . Absolutely. But is less really more and who wants to live with less . We sent a big guy, adam may, to see how he might fit into a new american dream, tiny houses. Tell me about this house here this community what do you call this place . This community is called, its a showcase of tiny homes, we call it boneyard studio. Each one is very different arent they . Yes. What you call this the mcmansion . The mcmansion of the block, brians house. The minim house. How big is this house . 210 square feet. It feels rather roomy. Its 11 feet wide. And this is the office, there is a keyboard. This is a full sized bed . Just pulls out. Interesting. You really cram a lot of things into one small space. You say a lot of the things in this house are very natural, very environmentally friendly. Uhhuh. The wood and like latex mattress, building a tiny house, its such a tight building envelope. You want to make sure the air quality the water, really interesting, reclaimed off the roof youre saying. Rainwater. You came up with a name for your house. The para house. After your name. When did you begin building . About a year ago. August of 2012. First i want to know why are you doing this, what do you like about this . I think mostly it was just a creative project, i was bored in d. C. , moved around a lot, but wanted something that i could move to another location. Do you imagine living in this some day . Yes. Your little get away . Yes. How are you going to cram something into this this is going to be a sofa lshaped area. With a banket typ bankette t . Yes. This is your kitchen . A galley style kitchen. You have a large fridge in a space like this. Yes, it is an apartment style fridge but i cook a lot and wanted space to freeze. You use every space in wholly different ways. Yes. How big is this . 140 square feet. Overall do you think people should consider living if a space like this . I dont know if they should but they are. In d. C. , it is a transient population young people and just another form of affordable living. Something we didnt mention. This is on with wheels. Yep. You can take it with you. Yes. Do you think youll take it with you some day . Oh yes. Im not sure when. The average cost of building one is 23,000. Three quarters of tiny house dwellers own their own home. Adam mays tour is on a documentary, tiny, the story about living small on sunday night, at 9 00 eastern. Ahead in our final segment, a man, a camera and a place in history. The image of communities before they pass away and the visions our world will lose. Finally tonight, one mans journey to capture the pass, photographer jimmy nelson and his camera, on a mission to document the Americans Last surviving tribes, a compelling reminder of all we lose when civilizations pass away. Shes photographed by a beautiful photographer. Thats what we sell to ourselves, we want to be, this false sense of you a tone yap beauty, these fantastic tribes and cultures, theyre 911 given that dignity or privilege. They are far more real and far more beautiful than the beauty we sell to ourselves. This project is very special, but it has quite a history. Ive been gathering the information for the last 25 years. Ive never believed i would ever have the opportunity to concentrate on it full time. It actually started in my childhood because my family, my father worked for an International Oil company. And from the age of zero i traveled around the third world. I use photography for developing and learning and having the excuses to go to interesting places. Im not an anthropologist, not a sociologist. Just a photographer with a realistic view of the world. Everything you can encounter, insects scorpion snakes, extreme cold, thats part of doing this as well, it is a heightened sense of existence. When you get to these people there arent these Beautiful People standing on mountain tops with eagles on their shoulders. I ask them to be there. The reality is quite harsh, theres few of them and theyre becoming less and less and less. 16 journeys to 45 Different Countries to 35 different tribes before they passed away. Very dramatic title. They are not going to die, their culture will going to die. They are on the brink of moving to the city. I have to persuade them, we have to persuade them that what they have is valuable. We have made the mistake, we overdeveloped, we let go of our awauthenticity and our origination. The further you go away the safer you are. They have nothing to get from me because they will have it anyway. They have their house their food, you dont have anything for them. Its about how you connect. And basically its all about vanity and empathy and its about people wanting to feel special, people wanting to feel strong. Theres one fantastic example of this male vanity, the sambu, in northern kenya, their hair touches their bottom, they groom themselves and giggling with each other. Theyre men. Not only are they men, theyre warriors, they are sambulu warriors, they can kill lions with their hands. They look like transvestites as we perceive them but in actual fact, they are some of the most finely tuned male specimens that you would ever come across on this planet. I genuinely believe these people have a emotional wealth a cultural wealth that we dont have anymore. What do we stand for, where are we from, all these cultures these transcribes that i went these tribes that i went to, they have that. They are green and blue and feathers and furs, they all have one thing in common, they are all physically active because they have to live, to survive, they have to find heating and protection and they have very few of the ailments that we have. We as human beings we love, we are attracted, beautiful cars beautiful watches, whatever it is that is beautiful. To me its about beautiful feelings, raw feelings, powerful feelings, who am i, im passionate, im many of these things, but im desperate to photograph them, as soon as possible. The book is before they pass away, if you would like to comment on any of our stories, log on to our website, aljazeera. Com america tonight. Well have more of america tonight, tomorrow.
