The Greatest Speech Ever - Robert F Kennedy Announcing The Death Of Martin Luther King
April 4th, 1968 Martin Luther King was shot and killed.
On that night, Robert F Kennedy, New York's senator back then, wanted to deliver the news to the people of Indianapolis, IN
Local police warned him, they won't be able to provide protection if the people wold riot because he was in the heart of the African-American ghetto.
He wrote his notes on his ride and started the speech without any drafts or prewritten words before his assistance would give him their proposed draft.
This speech was delivered on a back of a Flatbed truck.
Although all major cities had riots, Indianapolis remained calm after RFK's speech
63 days after this speech, RFK got assassinated.
