Read the excerpt from Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s remarks the night of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., to answer the question.


Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort.

In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black—considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible—you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another.

Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.

Answer 2

Answer: The connection President Kennedy makes is that MLK was a great man who sadly passed away by the hands of a white man. He is saying African-Americans have all the right to be mad.

He is signifying MLK's death and saying the battle isn't over. Kennedy is saying though a great icon and inspiration for people has died, and it may be a sad day but the battle against segregation isn't over. The text states "we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence."
