About this listen

 By June of 1968, the United States felt, to many, like a nation teetering on the edge. Every night, Americans watched the carnage of the Vietnam War on their television screens. That April, Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed in cold blood in Memphis, Tennessee, triggering riots in cities across the country. Into this chaos stepped Robert F. Kennedy — the younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy — as a candidate in the 1968 presidential election. But then, on what should have been a celebratory night for his inspiring campaign in early June, RFK was shot and killed, too. https://allthatsinteresting.com/sirhan-sirhan credits: ⁠⁠⁠https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
