Today in history we presented our projects again.My group didn't get very far yesterday, so we continued our presentation today. Yesterday we talked about his earlier life and military life, so today we talked about his life in the Soviet Union and his family, and what he did the day of the assassination.Jack Ruby was man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald. His parents lived in Poland, but he was born in Chicago. He was a Jew. He had a bad temper, disobedient, and got into trouble. Went to foster care because he fought with mother, and skipped school a lot. Went to Institute of Juvenille Research because of missing school. He served in the Armed forces, and moved to Texas with his brother. Changed his name from Rubenstein to Ruby, so it wouldn't affect his business. They managed bars, strip clubs, and night clubs. Arrested eight times in Dallas, and he carried weapons. Once police let him go, and another he finally got arrested. Killed Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963. He said he did it for Jackie Kennedy so she wouldn't have to see him in court. Arrested on March, 14 and got sick. Locked in cell all day, with little light. Died of lung cancer on January 31, 1967. Doctors think he injected something into his skin so he wouldn't have to live in jail the rest of his life.
