Remembering RFK, 1925 - 1968

No matter what your politics, one has to grieve and regret when a talented and dedicated statesman is lost, especially from an assassination. The following is a fascinating video of footage taken from the funeral train of Robert F. Kennedy as his body traveled across country after his murder in Los Angeles on this date, June 6, forty years ago, after winning the California Democratic primary. It is a moving time capsule of what the nation was like back in those days, and I think you will...not enjoy it, exactly, but consider the few moments you took to watch it very well spent.
