Honoring J.D. Tippit at Top Ten Records 2019
In collaboration with the Dallas Municipal Archives and Oak Cliff Records and Library (dba) Top Ten Records, Nov 22 is the day we set aside to honor fallen Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit who was fatally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald at 10th and Patton Streets after making a mysterious phone call at the Top Ten Records shop Nov 22, 1963. We will never know who he called, but the phone he used is still at the end of the shop counter. This year, we will display an exhibit of images pertaining to the story, and we have updated the information binder provided by the Dallas Municipal Archives.
Top Ten Records is the oldest record store in Dallas, TX, recently relaunched as a nonprofit community supported organization. The mission is to develop and sustain a piece of Oak Cliff history as a resource for media literacy and cultural study, while preserving, restoring, and making available to the public an archive of music and film through the retail shop, the library project, the Texas Music Archive project, and small cultural events like concerts, film screenings, workshops, art exhibits, and classes. https://donorbox.org/top-ten-records
