“As a poor Black American growing up in the 60’s-70’s-80’s, all I can say is it really touched, not just my heart, but all of our hearts when Bobby Kennedy toured the poor South and saw for himself (as well as on National T.V.) what the black community was really like. Even to this day it still brings tears to my eyes seeing the expression on Bobby’s face, it was one of bewilderment, shame, and genuine concern for a community he himself had never known.” – @montimiller2743
John F. Kennedy was killed 5 years before his brother Robert and the extraordinary Martin Luther King. Abraham Lincoln was killed 98 years before that.
