All I have to see is God Bless these TWO men.

RIP Robert Kennedy

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

Yes. The music died when RFK was killed.

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.

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.

People! this is the kindest, least racist, least homophobic thread I have ever encountered on Youtube. Thank you.

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.

The speech is timeless, and the monument is perfection.

[mafaldacrumbwitty]
