Leadership for Peace

We recently visited the Martin Luther King, Jr., Park near 17th and Broadway in Indianapolis which is named for the Civil Rights leader.  On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy spoke to an inner-city crowd gathered to hear his campaign speech, but instead he had to break the news that King had been assassinated.  Kennedy was strongly advised not to deliver his remarks; he refused and spoke instead about King.  While riots occurred in other U.S. cities, Kennedy's comments about reconciliation between the races prevented riots from breaking out in the "Crossroads of America."  The park is home to the Landmark for Peace Memorial (pictured here) which honors the contributions of both slain leaders.
