"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." Aeschyus
May we cherish their message of love... and spread it to others. Hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks Spade. A very meaningful video as we approach the 40 year anniversary of the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. It is still hard to comprehend to this day that Dr. King and Sen. Kennedy were gunned down only within a couple months of each other.
A very difficult time for our country. May both to include John Lennon continue to rest in peace.

Bobby epitomized a new hope that was also shattered by an assassin's bullet. I was watching the California primaries when Bobby got shot and I felt that another piece of America was lost.

texangel, that is such a huge and important point you make in your second line; if only we were able to feel, even for just an instant, the real pain of another, wouldn't all intentional hurting gradually cease?
Beautiful work again Spade, and of timeless relevance. For those old enough to remember the dreadful news of those assassinations, it really does not seem four decades past.

Huckabee's recent idiotic comment about Barack falling down back stage because he thought someone was shooting at him also triggered recollections of this incident.

That speech is one of the most important times in American history, when news that MKL had been shot reached Indianapolis. I believe one of the only cities that didn't riot that night was Indianapolis...

"Ladies and Gentlemen - I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening. Because...
I have some very sad news for all of you, and I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in.
For those of you who are black - considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible - you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge. "

"We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization - black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.
But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond these rather difficult times. "

SC absolutely beautiful in every way! Our leaders in the past may not have been perfect but they where for the good of the country and not the almighty dollar. I see the hope of the sixty again now in Obama. A changed and hopefully a united American.

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
...Langston Hughes -
(Who sums it up as pertaining to your wonderful video Spade, thanx!)
