Words that Inspire: Robert F. Kennedy

Just before a scheduled speech to a crowd of supporters--mostly African-American, ironically--presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was informed that Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.

The exuberant crowd did not yet know of this terrible happening, so Kennedy crumpled up the speech he had planned to give, opting instead to tell the crowd himself what had transpired that night. After delivering the news, Kennedy went on to give a passionate, ad hoc speech calling for healing and unity that has become one of the greatest speeches of the last century.


"What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black." --Robert F. Kennedy, August 4th, 1968, Indianapolis
