fu UetHfwXa »i In the yeai 1968 we were especially saddened by the brutal, senseless slaying of two of our great countrymen. Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Acts like this must give all men pause; how can these things occur in a democratic, lawful coun- try? Dr. King was one of our greatest humanitarians. For many years he led the crusade for equality among men. He never let himself be swayed from the path that he chose, either by threats from people violently opposed to his cause, or by his allies, who cajoled him to leave his peaceful course of action in favor of a more radical form of protest. He was an eloquent man, full of sympathy and good- ness. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, junior senator from New York, was a member of one of America’s most politically prominent families. In a painful era of racial polarization, he stood up and spoke for what he thought was right. His crusading was for equality and freedom: he loved his country and strove to make it better. The, one day in June, he, like his brother President John F. Kennedy, was cut down in the prime of life by an assasin’s bullet. Whether or not we felt sympathy for their political ideologies, we must feel a deep sense of regret for the murder of patriots who were willing to devote their lives to improving America.
