100 Words: Kennedy’s 1968 Speech On ML King Assassination
Recently
a NYTimes writer recalled Robert F. Kennedy’s speech announcing the
assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I watched the video and found that
RFK’s speech remains as tremendously moving and powerful today
as it did the first time I heard it on TV back in 1968. Not hatred, division,
and violence but love, wisdom, and unity. Yes, it would be wonderful. Perhaps
even possible, if we had such a person in the White House today. Of course, we
don’t. But there’s a remedy for that in November and at the moment Trump is
falling, falling in the polls.
