Question: What does the “Raleigh Call” refer to, in connection with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy?

Answer: The “Raleigh Call” refers to an alleged attempt, on behalf of Lee Harvey Oswald after his arrest for JFK’s assassination, to contact two Raleigh phone numbers on Nov. 23, 1963. A Dallas switchboard operator reported the unsuccessful calls, linked to a “John Hurt,” but discarded the memo. Unrecorded by the Warren Commission, this unresolved mystery fuels JFK assassination conspiracy theories.
