In Part three of the Life of Lee Harvey Oswald series, Lee, Marina and baby June move to Elsbeth Street in Dallas. Lee befriends George de Mohrenschildt, and Volkmar Schmidt, who may have unwittingly influenced him in his plot against General Edwin Walker. In this episode Oswald moves ever closer to using violence to further his political views and change history. His first target? The extreme ideas of the John Birch Society and their leader Edwin Walker, a racist disgraced former general whose encouragement of a mob cost the lives of two journalists in riots on the campus of Ole Miss in 1962, riots to prevent James Meredith, a black student, from attending. The episode includes footage of the apartment on Neely Street, and the famous backyard and staircase where the infamous photos were taken. Those photos will, however, be discussed in part 4, as will the actual attempt on Walker’s life.
