A moving speech...I get chills and tears in my eyes when I hear it, but this montage makes it even more emotional for me and reminds me, 40 years ago we lost 2 great men…

The gathering was actually a planned campaign rally for Robert Kennedy in his bid to get the 1968 Democratic nomination for President. Just after he arrived by plane at Indianapolis, Kennedy was told of King's death. He was advised by police against making the campaign stop which was in a part of the city considered to be a dangerous ghetto. But Kennedy insisted on going.

He arrived to find the people in an upbeat mood, anticipating the excitement of a Kennedy appearance. He climbed onto the platform, and realizing they did not know, broke the news.

His passionate speech was credited with quelling violence in the city, when other American cities had exploded with violence and anger.
