Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Funeral Eulogy by Robert F. Kennedy
"For those of you who are dark and are enticed to be loaded up with contempt ... against every single white individual, I can say that I feel in my own heart a similar sort of feeling. I had a my relative killed.... Martin Luther King, the American social equality pioneer and champ of the Nobel Prize for Peace, was brought into the world in Montgomery, Alabama. He rose to conspicuousness in the social liberties development of the 1950s, drove the well known March on Washington in 1963, and the March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965. A splendid speaker and author, whose emphasis on peacefulness in the Gandhian practice represented the progress of the development, Dr. Lord was killed on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, by a white man. Baked-hubbard-squash.
On the day King was killed, Sen. Robert Kennedy was lobbying for the administration in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was en route to a mission rally in a dark part of the city when he heard that King had been killed. His helpers emphatically asked him not to go to the convention, that he would jeopardize his life. In any case, Kennedy demanded, and he remained upon the rear of a flatbed truck and conveyed the accompanying impromptu tribute. Under two months after the fact, Kennedy was killed in Los Angeles. I have terrible news for you, for all our compatriots, and individuals who love harmony from one side of the planet to the other, and that will be that Martin Luther King was shot and killed this evening.
Martin Luther King committed his life to cherish and to equity for his kindred people, and he kicked the bucket as a result of that work. In this troublesome day, in this troublesome time for the United States, it is maybe well to request what kind from a country we are and what bearing we need to move in. For those of you who are dark - considering the proof there clearly is that there were white individuals who were dependable - you can be loaded up with harshness, with contempt, and craving for retribution. We can move that way as a country, in incredible polarization - individuals of color among dark, white individuals among white, loaded up with scorn toward each other. Ruby-tuesday-turkey-burger.
Or on the other hand we can try, as Martin Luther King did, to comprehend and to fathom, and to supplant that brutality, that stain of carnage that has spread across our territory, with a work to get that sympathy and love. For those of you who are dark and are enticed to be loaded up with contempt and doubt at the shamefulness of such a demonstration, against every white individual, I can say that I feel in my own heart a similar sort of feeling. I had a my relative killed, yet he was killed by a white man. However, we need to really try in the United States, we need to try to comprehend, to go past these fairly troublesome times.
My number one artist was Aeschylus. He expressed: "In our rest torment which can't neglect falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own depression, without wanting to, comes intelligence through the dreadful elegance of God." What we want in the United States isn't division; what we really want in the United States isn't scorn; what we want in the United States isn't savagery or disorder, yet love and insight and empathy toward each other, a sensation of unfairness towards the individuals who actually endure inside our country, whether they be white or they be dark... We've had troublesome times before.
We will have troublesome times from here on out. It isn't the finish of brutality; it isn't the finish of rebellion; it isn't the finish of turmoil. Yet, by far most of white individuals and by far most of individuals of color in this nation need to live respectively, need to work on the nature of our life, and need equity for all people who live in our territory. Allow us to devote ourselves to what the Greeks composed such countless years prior: to tame the viciousness of man and to make delicate the existence of this world. Allow us to commit ourselves to that, and say a request for our nation and for our kin.
