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, Indiana.

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.

  • Why haven't we heard the term --- "An RFK Democrat" I am one. I woiuld support any person who is tough on defense, an unbiased voice against injustice and inspirtion to the youth of our country...." Fear wasn't in his vocabulary and justice was his lightening rod!

  • "even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of god"

  • i wish there was an original video

  • "For those of you who are black and are tempted to ... be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling," he said. "I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man."

  • Thank you for being the ONLY person I can find who uploaded this speech in its entirely. it enrages me when other YouTubers cut parts out to make it shorter or to eliminate the reaction of the crowd - as if the wailing of the crowd is irrelevant!

  • RIP YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PRESIDENT STOOD UP FOR A LOT OF THINGS 

  • Touching.

  • This is so awesome!!!!

    

  • I'm reading MLK's autobiography at the moment and I can't put it down. What an inspiration that man is.

  • I have some very sad news for all of YOU, Bobby? WTF?
