I was 10 as well. So young but already politically engaged - how could we not be given the times? My mom came quietly into my bedroom and her voice was low and halting. So vivid even now, just crushing to remember.

We lived about three miles from there. My sister woke me up to watch the news coverage, including Sander Vanocur fighting off tears. A couple of years later we walked through that kitchen. So eerie and sad.

I lived in San Gabriel and my mom woke me up with a scream. She was watching it live.
-
I was in Alhambra, I had snuck out and I was staying up too late to watch his speech live. I was shocked.

50 years? It's a blink of an eye in time for me. I was in The Lobby of The Ambassador at the moments...then hours at Good Samaritan Hospital. Indelibly stamped in these moments is Frank Mankowitz coming out of Good Sam for the announcement. 1968 changed my life...even still.
-
Ben Mancowitz, the host on TCM, is Frank’s son. They do a lot of interviews of movie people at TCM events, but one time Ben brought his Dad. Frank said he held on to the podium so hard his knuckles were white. It was the hardest thing he ever had to do.
-
Thanksomuch for sharing...Frank is on twitter...my first hello in 50 years! My memory of those moments are still vivid today emotionally and physically. Ben's shows are wonderful.
-
You must know Frank passed away, I believe in the fall of 2016.
-
...omg...omg...I didn't know. I guess it was 2016 when I tweeted with him. Again, gracious gratitudes for sharing...

How far we have fallen: from inspirational greatness to tragic corruption.
-
Corruption now? Who do you think killed the Kennedys and MLK?

I woke up the next morning to my dad saying "They shot Kennedy!", & I mumbled "I know that.". Then he said "No, they shot Bobby." Another nightmare.

Was 12 yrs old & I remember waking-up & walking into the kitchen and when my dad told me that Bobby Kennedy was dead...I immediately broke down & cried I remember being stunned by my visceral reaction to the news Looking back now...I think even as a child...I understood the loss

A very early memory as a five year old waking up and running downstairs and not seeing my parents at the kitchen table but my mom laying down on their bed crying. I had never seen her cry.

I will NEVER forget watching KTLA news in LA. Watched his speech, saw him walk off, then the announcement that he had been shot. I was 13. I did not realize then, exactly how transformative a Bobby Kennedy presidency might have been, I do now. Instead we wallow in cynicism daily
