Our Bobby Kennedy series concludes with a six-minute You Tube video titled,
Tom Brokaw Reflects On Robert F. Kennedy In California.
When we watch this one, two striking speeches are heard: candidate Kennedy on April 4, 1968 in Indianapolis informing a black audience of Martin Luther King's assassination (his announcement is met with screams and cries of shock and sorrow); and at RFK's funeral, Ted Kennedy's memorably moving eulogy -- "saw wrong and tried to right it; saw pain and tried to heal it..."
In the Indianapolis clip, you almost can't believe it when he calls for "love." It is astounding to hear.
