Robert F. Kennedy announces death of Martin Luther King Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated two months later.
That was greatness. Listen and see if you can feel the compassion in his voice. Then you may have an inkling of what we lost in 1968.
I went from my home in Connecticut to New York on a pilgrimage to St. Patricks. We waited and shuffled for hours in line just to have perhaps 60 seconds in his presence.
Those days. That year, are forever etched in my mind and act as a reference point for life. There was life before 1968 and life after 1968. Nothing was the same. Nothing would ever be the same again.
1968. The year that changed everything.
The year innocence was lost.
