- On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy announced the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. to a majority-black crowd in an Indianapolis park. His impromptu speech is regarded as one of the most powerful and important addresses in American history.
Kennedy's speech - equal parts eulogy and call for peace - came as America was erupting into violence. Because of his message of compassion, the crowd in Indianapolis returned home peacefully. As cities across America burned, Indianapolis remained peaceful.
He would have made a wonderful President.
Arguably the best ever....RIP RFK
I remember my uncle saying he was going to vote for him. And I remember a few months later, my mom telling me he’d been shot and killed. 😢
I often wonder what could have been if JFK wasn't killed. RFK had to be killed too. Humans suck.
Bill Macnab Jfk was not a great president. Rfk would have been.
Best President America never had.
Indianapolis was one of the few major cities that did not riot that night, and it was because of the words of Bobby Kennedy.
Wow. He was able to calm a whole city. That’s utterly inspiring. True patriotism.
@@angrysammoNot just a whole city, the entire state did not riot after MLKs death unlike most America. A true show of RFKs words.

there are two areas in this country that are the literal beating heart of America--Indy and Raleigh/Durham. Forget NY, Chicago, SF, or LA...Indy and NC are the soul of America
Incredible speech, but it’s not due only to his magnificent, impromptu ability to put words together. People believed he meant what he said. No one doubted his intentions or commitment. Sincerity and moral clarity made him a leader.
And, in this speech, he didn't pander to any particular group. That would have caused division like we're seeing today. He spoke to all of us about our common humanity. I was there, with my parents that night and I can tell you that what could have been really scary, wasn't, because one man rose above what divides us and spoke to us as fellow human beings.
@@thesunwillcomeoutwaitandse2373
am glad You experienced him speaking that night. Hopefully it has been with You for all Your life and You can share it with others.
That expresses true empathy to me. Did it and does it for You too?
Sincerely
Exactly that.
Amen!
❤👍🥰❤👏👏👏❤🇺🇸
He was once asked by a wealthy middle class student “Mr Kennedy, all these plans of yours are great but who is going to pay for them?” You know what Kennedy replied “You are”. Didn’t pull punches- spoke the truth at all times in his presidential campaign. His death was an appalling disaster for all mankind.
No matter how old I get this speech still makes me cry. RFK felt the pain of the world very deeply. His death was the death of an entire era, and a disaster for all of us.
Completey agree with you, after watching a documentary of him, he was a man for the people, he would have been one of the greatest presidents ever in my opinion.
Me too💙🙏
I agree completely. He would have beenone of the greatest presidents of all time.
I’d just turned 17 and leaned toward being conservative. When we lost RFK, I lost all hope. I’ve not gotten it back. And I still hurt. A LOT.
where he delivered this speech ,was the only city,county,and state.witnessed no violent that day.....what a character?what a man?
No teleprompter, no cue cards. Off the cuff, and from the heart. Incredible.
Probably the greatest off the cuff speech in history.
Note: Robert Kennedy rarely ever spoke of his brother's murder. Let alone publicly. To open up his heart to reveal such a grievous wound to the public was such an out stretch of compassion and symphony for his fellow Americans, that Indianapolis was one the few cities, but the largest if them, to NOT riot that night in 1968. Sadly he would die months later in the hands of a kitchen worker in by a gunman. He'd pass on with a Rosery in his hand given to him by that same employee who caressed him as he succumbed to his wounds. Joining a long list of Americans that became the martyrs of Civil Rights and Freedom.
And nothing changed so there you have it
A man who calmed Indianapolis while the rest of the country burned.
What made RFKs speech solid was that everyone knew about the Kennedy tragedy and for him to speak upon his brothers death the moment King was killed was powerful
Yes, because he almost never spoke about his brother's death publically.
He was like , you are like me. You’ve lost someone and I’ve lost someone. But, let’s try to move forward and not let the anger consume us.
His voice was a special one.
RFK is one of the bravest men to ever run for office. He even made the crowd cheer, on such a tragic night!
Yep!
Little did they know. .
i dont know how RFK did it - running in 68 knowing full well the same people who killed his brother were likely going to kill him - thas
@@julianciahaconsulting8663 Mesmo assim ele correu todos os ricos pelo amor ao Estados Unidos
@@julianciahaconsulting8663 who killed his brother?
@@rohan7212 Depends on who you want to believe.
When he mentioned his brother, JFK, it surprised his aides and many more because Bobby didn’t talk about it much. I this shows how he understands and relates. A true man
His finest speech. His death was such a loss and injustice to this country.
I still get emotional when I hear this speech. Only Bobby Kennedy could have been able to put into words that would comfort people. I remember when I woke up to find out the results of the California primary. They said Bobby won, but then they said he was shot. I started screaming so loud that it woke up my parents. I collapsed on my bedroom floor. I had met Bobby when he ran for Senate and campaigned for him in the presidential primary in 1968. I was emotionally destroyed by his death. I don’t think I ever recovered. Nothing would ever be the same. This speech reminds us of what we lost when Bobby was assassinated. I know that I was never the same.
I don't think America will ever truly heal from the terrible things that happened in 1968.
Beautifully said, you honor his memory well.
did you see his sons letter to the dnc
That's a little dramatic to fall on the floor for a politician's death. Even a good one like him. Word of advice. You shouldn't ever be so dedicated to a politician. It can lead to those politicians using it to gain power and in turn become tyrants. Then again most Americans treat politicians and politics way too much like a cult.
@@aaronvivar52I love his son
If this man had become president we would be living in a better world
Thats why the rulers removed him the most efficient way possible. RIP
Your talking about Martin Luther King? Bobby Kennedy? Probably Martin Luther King right? Even though Bobby Kennedy seems like a good man to.
@@user-yp3yh2zr5q I meant bobby Kennedy but yeah MLK would have been great too
Hahahaha keep telling yourself that. In the end he’s a democrat. If you ever want to know what a country run by democrats look no further than your own country. The cost of every day items have skyrocketed and all in the name of climate change and the bull@hit that goes along with it.
Words matter. This man calmed what could have been a riot. And he was in the middle of it.
Indianapolis still Credits that speech as the reason the city didn't Burn like so many others that night .
A very righteous riot as is all that fight for freedoms
What A loss he went in what a brave man when police everyone advised him against it He took his life in his hands Free World needs another RFK
Today 55 years ago (4/4/23) we lost MLK, and two months and one day later, RFK himself got cut down.
Indeed the good die young.
RIP to both.
Both at the hands of a Democrat run CIA
The greatest president we never had
“To tame the savageness of man, and make gentle the life of this world”. The power of words are truly remarkable. By this short speech/eulogy RFK was able to tame the anger felt by so many and to instead focus this energy towards a better tomorrow. We in America would do well to heed his words.
Yes brother. Similar to Mandela when he got off robben island
I believe he would have been one of our greatest Presidents 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I mean it's cute n all but if it's a reoccurring situation then that really doesn't mean anything
Yes
Spot on the light of other days more and more People sleeping in the streets including a lot of working people in the rich 1st World Wè should be doing better in the 1st World Wè at least can vote we still are not like Russia China North Korea Saudia Arabia,,,,,,we all know what happens if you try to stand up for right they get you you fall out of a window your cut up by a Chainsaw in a Embassy your poisoned many examples London recently ànd Donald Trump Respects them and British RF Charles plus British Government Fawn over them
we have democracy
He gave this speech and this is one of the only cities that didn’t have riots after the death of MLK. Where’s my old friend Robert?
He's around we just need to find him
I thought of the song, too.
I was blessed to be there with my parents that night. He reminded us of our common humanity.
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill....
Whenever I hear it I just cry. Can’t help it. The only song that does this to me.
Bobby was the kindest man out of the Kennedy bothers 😢
Back when authenticity & integrity meant something.
News must not have traveled as fast in 1968 if so many in this audience did not even know that MLK had been shot and killed. This speech was stunning and it left the crowd silent. Indianapolis was one of the few cities that did not have riots many believe because of RFK.
no fucking shit news didnt travel as fast in 1968.
I heard that Indianapolis did not have any violence in the city that night following the killing of Martin Luther King Jr. unlike many other American cities.
People had more manners back then. They tended to leave their cell phones in their pockets instead of mindless staring in the all the time.
@@kristopherloviska9042 LOL no cellphones back then this is 1968
Just an amazing speech. It was delivered off the cuff.
My God we need leadership at this moment!
The Great White Hope, President Donald Jesus Trump is leading us. Everything will be okay after the elections.
Jesse5068 I can’t tell if you’re joking.
@@Jesse-gv9tf yes it is better , the salty cheeto has been beaten
If we had this man today then the world or at least this country would truly know peace, and love
@@user-px7mx2ge4e Yes, I'm joking.
One of the most powerful examples of persuasive public speaking and beautiful oratory skills.
It’s more than that, it’s his genuine soul speaking the truth. He believes what he’s saying, it’s not rhetoric, it’s the objective foundation that expresses truth.
How refreshing to hear a speech spoken from the heart, without a script or teleprompter
This speech moves me to tears every time I watch it. The Kennedys were amazing speakers but this one takes the cake.
Bobby was the one counseling jfk. Worked as attorney general helping his brother
What a shame the world has no leaders like this anymore.
His son
"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."
So beautifully expressed, thank you.
What a speech. It’s such a shame he never got the chance to become President, I’m sure America would be in a far better place today if he had.
This speech makes my heart heavy man. RFK was an exceptionally and truly compassionate and truth seeking man. A gentle and incredible human being...
They took your life but they can’t take your legacy!...
God bless you Robert Kennedy...
That is America at it's finest. In the middle of tragedy to call on our better Angels.
Your comment is beautiful. Thank you!
We are run by a pack of devils who can only imitate the better voices.
He was so heart centered. You speak of love as a politician and they take you out. It goes against the plan but unconditional love is the core of who we are, thank you for trying, like the others taken out because they spoke of unity and love.
We need a man like this for the turbulent times we face today in 2020. Desperately. Who would have guessed that two months after this, he would fall victim to more senseless violence? RIP, both of you. 😥
And those same people are still in control of it all today.
@@warmwoolsoxgood4559 that's why it wasn't really senseless violence. It was purposeful violence. They had very specific intentions.
Yes almost 2 months apart exactly and I was a child watching both funerals with my mom 💔
@@theciakilledjfk5973 Exactly. It’s obvious that Oswald wasn’t the lone gunman. Although you would never know it, even a congressional committee that looked into political assassinations came to that conclusion. On the surface, it’s not as clear that Sirhan wasn’t the killer, it looks open and shut. But when you look into the details there is strong evidence that things weren’t as they seemed in RFK’s murder. The difference is that the real killers did a much better job of setting up their patsy with RFK. They had to because people already had doubts about JFK’s murder.
@@theciakilledjfk5973Unfortunately they did. Disgusting what they did to JFK & RFK & MLK
That was beautiful and heartbreaking, and to think he wrote it on the spot. You could see him struggling with remembering that quote... What a great president he would have been. I love RFK.
Awesome Dude I do as well. I do as well.
Great opinion. Did he run?
Lucas Lundstrom yes
@@lucaslundstrom9478 um.. yeah. Killed weeks later by an assassin's bullet.
@@douglasjcox 62 days later, he was shot on June 6, 1968 in Los Angeles, by a man with a hand gun, at point blank range, from behind into the back of his head, identified as Sirhan Sirhan of Syria. It was the night, after the primary elections were complete, he gained the last state of California with a significant lead of delegates, expressed his thanks to everyone involved, and hopes to complete attainment of the nomination at DNC in Chicago. Shortly after the young man, came out from hiding behind the curtain, and executed the horrible act. RFK was pronounced dead some hours later after a large amount of efforts to save him were performed. Remember hearing the news in the morning in Maryland, announced in school, what i felt and thought and certainly with MLK too, especially so close together and their personal connections as well.
The photo showing his face and expression as he fell to the floor, backwards, and a young man preparing to cradle his head, remains in my memory, with a "pool" of emotions, thoughts, mental expressions and numerous images [before the blood]
Sincerely
He never wanted to speak about brother's death. But he exposed his open wound to relieve suffering of the people. He was a painfully beautiful man.
We need a leader like him now! Especially with the protests!
Yes we do.
Enter RFK...Jr
Simply the best speech I’ve ever heard. And probably the best one I’ll ever hear.
This man could actually read. He could speak English, and in a way that inspired, comforted, and empathized with Blacks and everyone else. What a contrast to what's now in the White House!
Especially now 💀
It's worse with Biden than Trump.
“And 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.”
2:46 - Bobby quotes Aeschylus. Where does Aeschylus write this? In The Oresteia? What does Aeschylus mean the "awful grace of God"? The point is, we can do well in this country, we've had difficult times in the past, but in the end we will win the difficult times of the future.
@@lucaslundstrom9478 Yes, in Agamemnon.
You can see him gather his breath before he speaks these words - to prevent himself becoming emotional. God I wish nut cases werent given Guns in the U.S.
@@lucaslundstrom9478 When I was younger I was confused by the phrase, “aweful grace of god”. It wasn’t until I studied Aeschylus in college that I discovered that the phrase meant that God’s grace was full of awe. In that context it made complete sense to me.
It's a stunning moment.
"It is not the end of the violence... " Unfortunately, Bobby, you were right. So sad.
Bobby Kennedy was the best candidate for president in my lifetime. He was a man of honor and integrity with a beautiful heart. I hope karma exists, and those who took him from us get their just due.
They don't make men like this anymore. What men, what truly, amazing men, JFK, RFK, MLK Jr truly were. We need you, we need you today, so, so badly. The Kennedy brothers are legend 🙌 🙏
Thank you for the kind words.
@@rfkhumanrights : we need a man like Robert Kennedy now more than ever. I think He Would have Made a great president. Much better than Trump.
Technologic21: truer words were never said. I provbably couldn't have said it better myself.
Vote for RFK Jr....2024 Democratic Primary !
who tf disliked this speech. this is how someone should address americans during troubling times.
There's always a few chuckleheads.
Probably 'send in the troops' Trump...
What is so great in this speech is, in a way it is both a speech and a prayer.
This is a better version than that upload with the swirling, manipulative music bed. Senator Kennedy's words here are more powerful without attempts to force an emotional response. RIP President Kennedy, Dr Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy.
_For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal_ - President John F. Kennedy.
Looking at your country now, all three had died in vain.
absolutly, I hate when they add dramatic music, it's like dumping ketchup all over a star michelin meal
I love this man and I am black I love this man he was my idol over Martin Luther King over Malcolm X. who is my hero Bobby Kennedy was the reason I became me
How different our course of history could have been if Bobby won.
❤ Amen can't go back RFK JFK no better example in history We will all pass The World Allways Rembers They fought the good fight payed the ultimate price JFK fought in WW2 he had no spurs in his ankles unlike DT when it came Vietnam JFK certainly walked the walk didn't just talk the talk
What a man he was. And first what a precious and a exceptional human being.
I watched Bobby Kennedy & MLK on public TV recently and finally could not see the screen any longer thru my tears.
and cheering for them.
This was a exceptional man...I often wonder how much better our nation would have been if he lived and was elected president in 1968. I truly believe he would have made a difference in bringing the country together, Instead of tearing it apart. RIP RFK.
The whole World especially people who live under dictators who loved ❤️ RFK and JFK wonder think the same What a loss they were
1:24 - "We can move in that direction... in greater polarization. Or we make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion and love."
Amen...Amen!
When will our leadership have the courage to speak such words in public? They make them hollow.
This is at a peak in 2023 ! Polarization, violence, hatred ! Vote RFK Jr....2024
Some speeches transcend generations...
A good man. A voice of reason in a chaotic time.
Words of love and wisdom can reverberate into eternity. Thank you, Mr. Kennedy.
They are far more penetrating, far more memorable. Far greater.
This hits hard even now.
Bobby Kennedy jr. Now running in 2023 David against Goliath! That money on Bobby Kennedy jr.
I've never seen a politician so universally loved by all races of people, black people, white people etc he must of been a very inspiring man
I wouldn't have wanted to deliver such news like that. I really feel for Bobby here.
Bobby came to my hometown of Phoenix in March, 1968. We got within 10 feet of him. A memory I'll never forget.
The crowd there knew that RFK had respect for them and they let him speak.
@@twilightblue8566 Only RFK could have started this speech with a matter-of-fact announcement of King's death. Anyone else may have been shouted down by the crowd the moment he finished the first sentence.
He should have been President.
Wow I can't believe I didn't know of this speech. That was phenomenal. How I wish we had a Bobby now. The unrest in our country is unbearable.
Vote for RFK Jr......running as Democrat 2024 election....although they (DNC) are trying very hard to discredit & block him out!
We got one now
Now he is running as an independent. RFK, Jr is wonderful like his father. ❤️🤍💙
Absolutely heartbreaking😪
Hamida Sanford And beautiful at the same time because the love and compassion is all there for the world to see.
We miss people like him and his brother. Standing truly for the people not for big corporations money and power. Aren't we tired of all of this yet? TOGETHER WE the PEOPLE ARE UNSTOPPABLE and these ones controlling our lives KNOW this. Shine your Light with your BIG heart. It's why WE ARE HERE! ❤🙏✌️
the speech was perfect, because he meant it. love to all!
Because he meant it
James Phillips Yes, that love and compassion and beauty of his heart is all there for the world to see. This man loved others like no can even imagine.
He made the speech in Indianapolis and and I think Indianapolis was the only Major city that did not have a riot. I don't think that was a coincidence.
Joseph Asner yeah
I live in Indiana. I may have not been born yet but RFK is a inspiration to me.
Of course, he had to improvise that speech on the spot, very impressive! Can you imagine the great progress we would have made under 8 years of his leadership! Just too much evil, greed, and racism to allow that to happen! And it’s worst now! I still believe the majority of people in this country want to see the American dream of equal justice and liberty for everyone in this country and every human being on the planet! That’s what Gandhi, MLK, JFK, RFK, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and so many more have been trying to teach us all: We Must Stand Together!!! Knowledge is power, only if you have the courage and integrity to act on it! We Must Stand Together!!!
An incredible speech for the ages
We need leadership like this now
Hes too busy playing golf.
Vote RFK Jr.....2024 candidate !!
He was a true philosopher king.
Who is here after the riots?😥
Love from Germany.
Everyone should remember Robert's proposal here. What direction do we want to move in?
12 years ago I found my older brothers cold body and hugged him as i cried tears unto his cold blue face.. It left me angry. Very angry.. i felt so wronged that the world I always knew was now gone forever, and I had just lost my closest friend and a mentor who guided me throughout my whole life up until that moment.
And after i had lost my older brother..
I lost myself.
And who I used to be melted away into a cold angry vindictive person I no longer recognized nor did anyone else. I felt was an Injustice and I held onto that rotting burning anger to the point it only hurt those I still cared for. And it took me many years to let go of that Hate that I buried deep within... but I did eventually learn to let go of it and choose Love over the Hatred. It was always a choice.. It was the most freeing experience of my life as i opened up and began to actively CHOOSE my path again, I finally began to know real Freedom. So I hope you understand that RFK's speech here makes me shed some real tears. I felt his pain and understood his strength in that devastating moment in US history. Maybe this speech doesn't make some of you feel anything as a citizen of the United States, and that's too bad and very sad.. I wish ya a chance to one day find a way to let go of all that anger that poisons your spirit. Perhaps life has hurt your spirit in a way that you think there is no return from? No light at the end of that dark tunnel.. I get it. but I hope that is not your truth and not the ending to your ride. Trust what RFK is speaking of here in this speech. I hope you rise again with a stronger spirit for the road ahead. ❤️🩹 What an amazing speech in such a low moment. ❤️🔥
The greatest president that never was. We must never despair. We need ❤❤❤ for each other.
This one is the best and such an incredible speech. Impromptu no papers written to give the speech. Giving a speech impromptu done eloquently is rare! Pretty hard to do I would imagine.
Especially in front of a crowd that has every reason to be angry.
I remember only little bits when Dr. King died. I was young. But RFK's words are moving all these years later.
This man meant very word he uttered. I truly miss him.
The Kennedy's were some orators.
Call for peace and unity vote for Kennedy Jr🕊
Imagine we still had leaders like this. He hardly had time to prepare this. Spoken from the heart. This young man wouldve made an amazing president
Where the hell is our Robert Kennedy of our time to lead, inspire and set the tone of justice.
Be the change you want to see in the world
@@rimfire8217 Empty slogans won't help.
Vote for his son....RFK Jr. 2024 ! Ignore mainstream media' mislabelling of him! Search for other media/ you tube sites where he is fairly interviewed......the DNC wants to ignore/slander him.
A set of ideas we should all rededicate ourselves and our countries to, here in 2019.

Westernwilson Agreed! Agreed!
Westernwilson: I agree.
Westernwilson, AGREED!!
We all miss him.
I wasn’t born yet but I wish I was.
52 years later. 2020. RIP to Martin Luther King and Robert F Kennedy
This speech always struck a chord with me. We’ve yet to see such a compassionate politician, one who’s sincerity was not questionable. In that moment, there was no greater person poised to calm the country, and the African American community given the context. As others have stated, RFK did not speak of his brothers death, but he felt the pain that the African Americans felt in that moment. All off the cuff. No teleprompters, just words from his heart. Not long thereafter RFK would be assassinated. It’s as if any leader that offered palpable change from the status quo, that would have healed the country, that would have stopped the war machine from churning and instead declared war on poverty, war on racism, war on inequality in general was picked off, one by one.
RFK: the essence of perfection: Thoughtful, kind, caring & inspirational. He was the best of us. Thank you God for sending such a man to us 🙏.
We need leaders such as he, now!❤️
The beauty and love in his speech helped keep a lid on the worst angels of our natures at this difficult time. It did not hurt at all that he knew this type of political loss and pain, too.
His speach moves me as a 10 year old. I remember the day well. My parents were both crying because MLK had been assassinated. When Mr Kennedy was assassinated, my whole family cried and my dad said things will never be the same....they weren't and its really bad now. My parents have passed before this hell we live in. I pray Robert Kennedy Jr wins the presidency, we need a change in this country. I had hoped President Obama was the change. It didnt happen😢 ive volunteered for Mr Kennedy and i will commit to his campaign 🙏💙💙💙💙💙
The whole world wishes RFK Jr. will be the next president, and continue the great work his father and uncle started.
A Kennedy is coming back to lead America and get her back on track as a true beacon of hope and prosperity for the world.
Obama could have been one of the greatest presidents in history if he actually worked to unite the country. Instead, he chose to rip us apart.
He could have encouraged black people to strive for greatness. He could have made it cool to succeed and be a good citizen. Instead, he decided to convince them that they are victims, powerless in a society that hates them, and that they should live in fear and bitterness. He’s one of the best orators I’ve ever seen in my life. Truly an amazing speaker. He chose to use this gift to set black people back and divide this country on racial lines. Almost no one truly cared that Obama was black. They cared that he ran with the victim narrative. And when people tried to call him out on it, they were just smeared as racists. Really tough to watch the country go down that path.
@@stevem437 Read the the book The Long Southern Strategy. #2 Understand the whole picture of history from the black man. 10 southern slave owning Presidents that served over a 89 yr time period . Which would lead the 16th President to his death not able to win the hearts and minds of the South . That caused from 1865 till 1965 a larger rift within this nation . From 1965 till today . Its a large picture like looking at the cover of a box with a complete puzzle , yet within that box is 1000 pieces . Obama knew what was within that box , piece by piece . I have worked within black neighborhoods for over 15 yrs out of 35 , seeing up close no one can witness why a quick drive by or drive around that neighborhood . All men are created equal was wrote by a slave owner . And those words did not exist in law or practice till 1964 , 1965, and even with laws in place , people like yourself only see 1 single piece of todays puzzle . Open the box from the puzzle of this Nations past , to see clearly the whole picture .
Mr Kennedy has a voice of reason - the whole world needs him to be President of USA
This is one of the most moving, impromptu speeches in American history. Listen to Nina Simone’s “Why the King of Love is Dead.” She sang it three days after King’s murder.
Robert F Kennedy was one of the best of his time and in the history of the United States and the world
Very poor choice of ads to go along with Robert Kennedy’s powerful speech
I know. I almost want to click and "sign" the card.
Yes. Poor Bobby is probably turning in his grave.
At least it gives us a clear comparison between a real empathetic human being - a real leader - like BK and a self serving, narcissistic POS like Trump.
@@amacallan9 Some people ae never happy.
Can you imagine ANY political figure being able to deliver this type of off the cuff speech today.

It starts with all of us. How we treat people in our day to day lives. We must respect everyone as our equal, whether they are black or white,rich or poor. When will we agree that enough is enough? ✌🙏♥️
Robert f Kennedy shot on this day back in 1968.
Rest in peace Bobby you will never be forgotten 👍🏾♥️👍🏾.

😪 Our world lost a Hero on that day in history. What a beautiful encouragement from Bobby Kennedy.❤️✝️
Oh Bobby !!!!! You make me proud
God bless him. Thank God we have this wonderful speech. Yes, he would have made a wonderful President. How I miss him still! Every now and then I have to go back and listen to this speech again.
