I live in New York. On channel 13 (PBS) they are aring a special, "Ripple of Hope." The story of Robert F. Kennedy's visit to Indianapolis the night of Dr. Martin Luther King's murder. It airs at 8:00 p.m.
T- The movie you want to see and the documentary I saw on 2.3.10, are one in the same. I love the monument of both MLK and RFK -- the one in which both their hands are reaching out and upward. I wonder which city its located.
I wouldn't know in which city that monument was built, but I'd sure like to know... I've been interested in History since I was a teen and I study History at the university. The American Sixties are among my greatest interests, and I've always had a special interest in Bobby. The speech he held the day after MLK was killed, "The Mindless Menace of Violence" is my favorite speech overall. Posted it on my blog last June, too.
The memorial entitled, "A Landmark for Peace," is probably located in Indianapolis, ID, USA; the city where Bobby gave his "Ripple of Hope" speech. Although the Sixties was a turbulent time in America's history, I am very fond of that era, too. Some of America's greatest music and ideals came out of that decade. Cheers T!!
I love sooooo many things. I'm making every effort to find a design that suits my personality, and one that I can live with for a while. I love cyclical change, seasonal variations. In spring I like spring stuff; winter, winter stuff, etc. To tell you the truth, indecisiveness is one of my character defects. I prefer to call it perfectionsim, but the "experts" would call it narcissism, vanity.
RFK's speech in Indy was his highest point of oratorical excellence. The speech was amazing. Cheers Bobby!!
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome and inspirational! IMHO, Robert would have made a better president than his brother. Cheers Matt!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it'll be on our PBS station as well. Hopefully I'll remember to look!
ReplyDeleteAh, so the movie is finished? I saw the trailer about two years back...
ReplyDeleteI hope to see this one one day, too. That speech was simply amazing!!
