Martin Luther King is killed in Memphis,

00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:15.230

Indiana running for president.

Breaking the news to an
African-American crowd

00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:20.680
at 17th and Broadway in Indianapolis,

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:23.200
Kennedy shared his grief telling them

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:25.977
his brother had been
shot by a white man too.

00:00:25.977 --> 00:00:29.280
"We can choose to violent,"
he said, then continued.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.810
- We can make an effort
as Martin Luther King did

00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:36.280
and replace that violence
with an effort to understand,

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.463
compassion, and love.

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:42.440
- [Jane Pauley] Rioting marred
many U.S. cities that night,

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:44.580
but Indianapolis was calm.

Two months later Robert Kennedy was dead.

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.900

quoted at his grave site.
