Although all major cities had riots, Indianapolis remained calm after

famous Robert F Kennedy’s speech

«But we have to make an effort in the United States. We have to make an effort

to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times».

Robert F Kennedy

Robert F Kennedy:

«What we need in the United States is not division;

what we need in the United States is not hatred;

what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness,

but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another,

and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black».

Robert F Kennedy:

«But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land».

We should never forget about great people.

When we stop discrimination we bring peace in this world, which everyone wants. Martin Luther King wanted us to understand that we all are the same, no matter if we are black, white or brown. Nowadays we may say that he is the one who really brought this thought in our minds.
