"Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black considering the evidence evidently is that were white people who were responsible, you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge." -Robert F. Kennedy
