that JFK did lay, dead in the back of that limo in Dallas, Texas. …
…And yesterday would have been his brother, Bobby’s (RFK’s), 82nd birthday.
When Dr. King was murdered on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Bobby Kennedy’s campaign paid to have Dr. King’s body flown from Memphis to Atlanta. There, at 1 AM, in the dark of a chapel/funeral home, (now Congressman) John Lewis arranged for Bobby and Ethel Kennedy to visit Dr. King’s body, alone. And Rep. Lewis recalls saying to himself, “Well at least we still have Bobby.”
And then, within two months , RFK was also killed.
If anyone wonders why 1968 (when I was 15) was the year the world ended for me, just ask me for more details.
It only got worse.
Still, the struggle continues.
Not really an essay here, still, I wouldn’t have made it then without my personal savior..
