April 8, 1968 - Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy arriving for Martin Luther King Jr. 's Funeral

[@andrewsullivan6980]

When RFK was running for president he was on Park Ave near 51 st Street. I was a Western Union messages. I was able to work my way into the crowd until reaching the platform where he was. I reached up and shook his hand. That was the happiest moment in my life. I had no idea that someone was going to take his life shortly after. I was so upset that we lost our next president to be.A truly wonderful human being.

[@bruceedwards2180]

Breaks my heart that two months later we would lose our greatest President we never had ....

[@sherree4444]

Absolutely!!!!

[@travismclaurin9419]

In truth, Robert F Kennedy was the President of the US after his brother Jack was slain.

[@JamesWilliams-ld2hq]

.. and you know this how?

[@trae701]

I have faith in his son, RFK Jr.

[@susie6319]

Bobby Kennedy wasn't our President he was running in 1968 for the President very sad we lost him and his brother John 😢❤

Horribly sad 😢. We lost 2 great men ♥️♥️😢⭐️⭐️🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@michaelcait2935]

At Martin Luther Kings funeral all the presidential candidates were there : Nixon, Rocky, Romney, Mccarthy, Bobby and Teddy Kennedy, Humphrey, Lindsay but of all of them only Bobby Kennedy was a visitor in the home of King to speak with Mrs King as was Jackie Kennedy

[@mrlanders08]

He had two months to live. Wouldn't I love to go back in time to him arriving at the airport...tell him I'm from the future...and when he wins California, leave the stage to the RIGHT, not the kitchen. You see in the archival footage that he's planning to leave the stage and head right, but people redirect him to the kitchen, where Sirhan is. Why would they have done that? What could our country have been like with him as President instead of Johnson?

[@patty-cf7jj]

I just watched a documentary and the woman (a leader in the migrant workers movement, I forget her name) who was supposed to escort him to another ballroom or somewhere else in the hotel, was confused why he was being led into the kitchen.

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@@patty-cf7jj Exactly. I have always wondered why Senator Kennedy would go through the pantry at the last minute, when his guards told him to leave through the pre planned exit through the door to his right. After his speech, RFK turns and looks at Rosey Grier, one of his bodyguards, and Rosey motions for him to leave to his right. Senator Kennedy and his wife, Ethel, follow Rosey Grier’s motion. Then, someone comes up and redirects them to the left, through the pantry. There is absolutely no way that Senator Kennedy’s assassination in that pantry was just a coincidence. Some of the videos I have seen after his speech are very telling that it had to be a set up. BTW, the woman who was in the United Farm Workers Organization with Cesar Chavez was Dolores Huerta. Chavez had left the celebration at the Ambassador Hotel early that night.

[@john1198]

They would get him later .poison him or get him if elected . He was a dead man from the time he said he would run. 1968 was not his year. 1976 was. Because Hoover , Dulles and Johnson were gone. Regardless he knew his brother was killed by a plot and Martin Luther king killed , he should just dropped out.

[@liecrusher3506]

Well, Johnson had decided not to run, anyway.

[@williammize8270]

Robert Kennedy was a thought person. Meaning, he actually thought about a question before answering, was measured in his responses. Unlike many politicians today, with their canned rhetoric to everything. I am Michael Warren and I approve this message.

The late Senator Robert F. Kennedy possessed the most intense and riveting eyes ever! His eyes would capture you with their honesty and sincerity. Ironically, exactly two months later, funeral services for Senator Robert F. Kennedy, in New York City, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and burial in Washington DC, at Arlington National Cemetery, took place on June 8,1968.

HelmerReenberg, Exactly two months later on June 8,1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy's funeral would take place at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, NY. Quote by SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY ~ "I don't think we have to accept the idea that the stain of bloodshed is going to be ever across our country."

[@richrydell9025]

this showed that bobby cared about black people and white people and wanted so that they both could get along.

[@ClevelandKaz440]

He was his bro's JFK's main brain & negotiator, peacemaker, deal maker and law enforcer. Most decisions made by JFK was run through Bobby. Imho he would of been the best president of all 3

[@idontknowmuch3441]

All 3? There’s jfk and rfk and who’s the 3rd?

[@deborahcooper9085]

That’s why the killed him. They got rid of JFK to get rid of Bobby. Had he not ran for President he would probably have lived a long life.

[@gloriag1888]

President Kennedy, with a formidable brain and intellect, worked closely with an equally formidable brother. Bobby would have succeeded Jack. America would have a continuous 16 years of the brothers as POTUS 35 and 36, would have been better for it as would have been the world. 🤨

[@carlosvelarde7948]

@@gloriag1888 I agree I think John f kennedy if he would never got kill in 63 and made it in 64 by election time he would got reelected and did more and if his brother robert f kennedy never got kill either in 68 he would have been president and would have done alot and if he reelected he would have done more imagine the world today if we had 16 years of Kennedys john f kennedy president of the 60s and Robert kennedy president of the 70s

[@maria-melek]

@@idontknowmuch3441 Ted he tried running in 1980. And Joe Jr. was supposed to be president not John. However Joe Jr died in WWII thus Jack was next in line. Their father was crazy.

[@ericbaker9688]

Wow! Less than 2 months he would be going to his own funeral..smh wicked times man..

[@uzmandoktor7091]

Boby could have been wonderful American President like Jack, ıf he was chosen and of course he was not murdered. The war machine, CIA and zionist cooperation murdered both Jack and Bobby. I hope their muderers are burning in the hell, at the moment.

[@brendawise4365]

Really breaks my heart to watch these videos. Our world could have been so different and I believe much better. If these men had lived we would not be in the situation we're in today because JFK was going to expose all of it.

[@1burnman]

Unspeakable tragedy that should never have happened

Poignant, and tough to watch. Wonder what U.S. would have been like if he'd survived, been elected? I think he was America's last great man in politics.

[@mickfunny4185]

Bob Taylor he never would’ve won the Democratic nomination, had he lived. He was trailing in delegates when he was killed, and the idea he could’ve overtaken Humphrey is absurd.

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

Bob Taylor, I cried as I watched this, just like I did as a teenager watching it on TV in 1968. I often wonder what our country would be like if the Kennedys had not been assassinated. I do not think that our country has ever recovered from the horrible events of the 1960’s.

Jackie Kennedy was at mlk memorial also I beleive

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

Yes, she was. That is who RFK is talking about in this video, when he says “she will be arriving here tomorrow morning”. Mrs. King requested that Mrs. Kennedy come to the funeral.

[@nowdid]

Ethel was pregnant with Rory when this was taken

[@myahollandia3552]

Yes about 1 month only ! So sad 2 months later Bobby would die

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@T L Townes , Ethel was about 3 months pregnant with Rory when Bobby was assassinated on June 5, 1968. So, she would have only been about 1 month pregnant in this footage.

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@T L Townes , You are welcome. We all make mistakes. Take care…

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@T L Townes , I suspected that you were thinking of how far along Ethel was in her pregnancy at the time of RFK’s assassination. Easy mistake…

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@T L Townes , I have noticed you commenting on other Kennedy videos. Were you alive during the 1960’s? I was almost 12 when President Kennedy was assassinated, and 16 when Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated. It just seems to me that our country has not been the same since these horrible tragedies.

[@lawrenceagnew3972]

How did sirhan know he would be in the kitchen area.why wasn't more security there

[@bobtiemersma9517]

This is a representation of the reality of civil rights and the reality of being a Kennedy. I went through a similar emotional blow to what Bobby Kennedy went through at the same age (38) a Bobby Kennedy when my favorite and former girlfriend's look-a-like was assassinated. This is where the insight to the reality sets in.
