A treasure trove of priceless photographs were recently found dumped under a bridge in South Fort Worth. Among the found photographs were images of President John F. Kennedy's motorcade just moments before his assassination, a young President George H. W. Bush, Gwendolyn Brooks, the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize, former Texas Gov. John Connally, and founder of the Fort Worth NAACP Chapter Dr. George Flemming.
Whoever tossed the pictures away apparently had no idea they were throwing away history.

The photographs were found underneath Interstate 20 and Oak Grove in South Fort Worth by the Code Compliance iIllegal dumping team. The location is a well-known dumping ground monitored by the department.
The photographs are now being stored in a secure location by the city of Fort Worth. Code Compliance will hold onto them until it can complete the legal process of finding out who may have dumped the pictures before possibly turning them over to a museum.
