Robert F. Kennedy's Statement on Dr. King's Death - Montage
Uploaded by: Manny535
Video Description:
Since the movie "Bobby" is going to be released, I created this montage on Robert F. Kennedy's Statement in Indianapolis, IN on Martin Luther King's Assassination, which he made on the night of April 4, 1968.
Amid the tragedy of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, an extraordinary moment in U.S. political history occurred as Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy, broke the news of King's death to a large gathering of African Americans in Indianapolis, India
na. Most of the people hadn't even heard that Dr. King had been shot. I can imagine that they were stunned and some cried. But that evening Robert Kennedy spoke from his soul. The words rang in almost a prayerful manner. Carved on the Robert Kennedy's marble gravestone are the words from Aeschylus
that he could recite from memory: "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."

| With RFK's rational and understanding speech towards king's assasination he was probably the x-factor in indianapolis being riot free unlike the majority of the rest of the country in the aftermath. |

| yes, and he's supporting a man with faith; MLK has a good faith and surely unlike our Sen Obama whom has or dont even knows which is his faith and religion, don't or can't you all see the difference?? Why Americans wanna compares MLK and Sen Obama?? They both too much difference beyond comparison.. Heck! |
| Faith is all about ... ( 1 month ago by speck7521) |
| Faith is all about believing. In the end, how much does it matter what our faith is if we are not willing to change and treat those around us with love? Does it truly matter what religion it is fo those who try and want to hate us? We want to compare MLK to Obama because we know no different. We have lossed the truth somewhere along the way, and are just looking for an answer. |
| And what is your ... ( 1 month ago by speck7521) |
| And what is your point? Are you condemning white men? Are you hating on everyone? What the hell is your point? If you don't have one then shut the hell up. If you have one then speak it. I am a whit man and I cry when I think of the loss of MLK in '68. But not onlu him...also Robert Kennedy also in '68. What about hime and what he wanted? |

| Evil will not, must not triumph! we are, the good people, we are the one who must bear the burden of this twilight struggle... nothing is more important than this!!! this is not a call to bear arms no arms we need not a call to battle not embattled we are but a call to voice a dissent a call to dispute and refute this current disgraceful administration yet a powerful dissent voiced in civil manner and under the rule of laws and directed to the highest institutions of this great republic! |
