        So very sad 😞 Back in the day when people actually cared for/about one another. How we urne for days gone by when even Politicians had compassion for each other.

        I see what you're saying but you're looking at a photo of someone made a widow because of hate and racism. I wouldn't call this a time when people cared about each other.

        And Bobby wasn't all that crazy about MLK. In fact we forget how unpopular MLK was during his lifetime. His tragic death turned his reputation around.

        That doesn't mean Bobby Kennedy wasn't committed to Civil Rights. Many Black leaders, including X, were not fans of MLK either. Liking MLK back then wasn't a litmus test.

        Agreed, we just tend to look at MLK with the benefit of hindsight of all he accomplished, but at the time there was a lot more fear and prejudice than we imagine now. I think we like to think racism was due to a few unenlightened folks, when actually it was very widespread.

        Wonder whether RFK was thinking of all those wiretaps he ordered on her murdered husband.

        I feel deeply sad remembering April and June of 1968. The loss America suffered is incalculable. Our nation and our world would have been a much more humane place had these two great leaders been able to guide the affairs of our country.

        And just shy of two months later, #EthelKennedy would be in the same spot as #CorettaScottKing, a widow far too young.

        Titans of public service & activism, True Patriots. If they’re looking down at us from “heaven,” I hope they’re not disappointed. #resistance
