Robert F. Kennedy
Robert F. Kennedy was the brother of President John F. Kennedy, had served in public offices, including U.S. Attorney General, and was a leader for the young generation of the decade. He was a strong supporter of civil rights and questioned the morality of the Vietnam War. In 1968, Robert Kennedy was campaigning to be the next president of the United States. Just two months after the assassination of Dr. King, Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed while campaigning on June 5, 1968 shortly after midnight in Log Angeles, California. His shocking and tragic death, especially after the assassinations of his brother, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, further sent the country into sadness and uncertainty.
“All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don’t. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.” Robert F. Kennedy
“But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaen and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?” Robert F. Kennedy
