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.
-
Yes indeed. Well put.

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.

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

Of course they’re disappointed.
