Some never-before-seen artifacts from the minutes and hours following President John F. Kennedy's assassination are going on display Friday, along with an extensive collection of photographs of the young president's family.

The Newseum, a museum devoted to journalism and the First Amendment, is marking the 50th anniversary of the assassination with a yearlong commemoration including two new exhibitions and a new film about Kennedy.
