If you watch the video,
Ethel 2012 Documentary

(Walter Lawler Archive),
early in it, you hear part of a speech Bobby Kennedy gave in Indianapolis to a mostly-black audience, the night Martin Luther King had been assassinated; Bobby announced the news - you can hear gasps and screams in the crowd.
The police didn't want him to go and make the scheduled appearance.
He went anyway, and said to the people, What we need in America is not division, but love, for one another.
There was rioting in some cities that night, but none in Indianapolis.
