I think a lot about what a different country we'd have if these two men had not died such untimely deaths. Much less racial division, no Watergate, etc, etc.
Robert Kennedy had the ability to put things in their place. He gave this speech to try to stop any violence or riots that could come from the Martin King Assassination because he knew that any riots that would come after hearing that news would only make things more difficult that violence after violence only creates more violence & to stop the pattern of violence you have to stop violence & people need to be able to live together.
I know you got an a for this project this is very nice, are there any leaders today like these will there ever be a leader again who can touch our hearts and souls like these guys did President obama can heed the call and I pray he adds to our peace and not our turmoil. I am glad I got to live in a time when these guys came through it was just a remarkable time so much hope.
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black
Now that both of them are gone 40 years, as we look back in profound sorrow, I wish all of us U.S. citizens, black and white and all other races as well, would finally look ourselves in the eyes in our mirrors and realize how we failed these two great men, when we did not stand up on our hind legs and demand that the conspirators be uncovered and brought to justice.
The word went out: If Bobby wins the California Primary, he will be President. Therefore if he wins in California he must die.
Was Osama Bin Laden was part of the group who killed JFK, MLK, and 9-11???

Even in our sleep
Pain, which cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart
Until in our despair
Against our will
Comes wisdom
Through the awful grace of God
Tame the savageness of man, and make gentle the life of this world.

The speech is timeless, and the monument is perfection.

That must have been tough to have to step up and announce that to all those people. It's really tragic what happened to both of them.

All I have to see is God Bless these TWO men.
I too have seen the promise land; and one day hope to reach it.
RIP Robert Kennedy
RIP Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day one day before the inauguration of the first African-American U.S. President. Amazing times, eh?
