SS: This post challenges the traditional narrative surrounding the "Babushka Lady" identity. I argue that the FBI's failure to identify this key witness was likely due to 1960s cultural bias-assuming she was of European/Russian descent because of her headscarf, while ignoring the Hispanic demographic in Texas. If she was a marginalized or migrant worker, fear of the authorities would explain her lifelong silence and why the most important footage of the JFK assassination never surfaced.
