These are the words that Mary Moorman spoke as she demonstrated how she took her photo. It was several months later; probably the Spring of 1964. The Stemmons Freeway sign had already been removed. By that time, both Mary Moorman and Jean Hill were very calm and reflective, and not immersed in the shock of what happened.
But, read Mary's words carefully because she said, very matter of factly, that she got into the street. And she made it clear that she lingered there in the street for quite a few seconds because she wanted to capture their faces.
However, it is physically impossible that she let them pass her and then shot the backs of their heads, as we see in the Moorman photo. And that's because it was physically impossible for her to do it. There was no room for her in the street once they reached her. That's because Officer BJ Martin, on the outside motorcycle, was hugging the curb.
You don't think she was going to obstruct and block the motorcade of the President of the United States, do you? Of course not. That is a real picture of Mary during her demonstration, and the other image is an accurate representation of what she was seeing.
And please don't suggest that she jumped out of the street at the last second; let the limo and the motorcycle escorts pass, and then got back in the street, turned the other way, to shoot the backs of their heads. It's a ridiculous claim. Besides, she didn't say it. And if she didn't say it, you can't say it.
So, as wild as it may sound to you that Mary Moorman's photo got replaced, that is what the evidence is telling us.
