On April 4, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., arrived in
Indiana to campaign for the Indiana Democratic presidential
primary. As Kennedy boarded his flight from an appearance in Muncie
to Indianapolis, he learned that civil rights leader Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., had been shot outside his hotel in Memphis,
Tennessee. While on the plane, Kennedy heard the news that King had
died. Despite warnings from Indianapolis police that they could not
guarantee Kennedy's safety, and brushing off concerns from his own
staff, Kennedy decided to proceed with plans to address an outdoor
rally to be held in the heart of the city's African American
community. On that cold and windy evening, Kennedy broke the news
of King's death in an impassioned, extemporaneous speech on the
need for compassion in the face of violence. It has proven to be
one of the great speeches in American political history. This
compelling book reveals what brought the politician to Indiana that
day and explores the characters and events of the 1968 Indiana
Democratic presidential primary in which the underdog Kennedy had a
decisive victory.
