Robert F Kennedy
In this EOTO reactions, I will be writing about my one fellow classmate who did their presentation of the assassination of Robert F Kennedy. I picked this topic because this was such a crazy and interesting thing to happen, and there are many articles and information within this topic. RFK was assassinated in 1968 on June 5th, however reported dead on June 6TH. A 24-year-old Palestinian man Sirhan Sirhan shot him at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles. This happened moments after he won the California presidential primary. Unfortunately, five others were wounded during the shooting. The country at this point was confused and obviously concerned. Within the same year, Martin Luther King JR. was also assassinated, and the Vietnam War was occurring.
Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy
This was such a tragic story for the USA to hear because he was a very important role model for many. He is known for advocating thr civil rights movement, the fight against organized crime and the Mafia, and involvement in the U.S. foreign policy related to Cuba. He impacted the civil rights movement because he sent 400 federal marshals to protect the Freedom Riders and urged the interstate Commerce Commission to order the desegregation of interstate travel. Kennedy also authored his account of the Cuban Missile Crisis in a book titled Thirteen Days. It was released a year after his assassination. This book describes the meeting held by the Executive Committee, which was the team assembled by US President John F. Below is a picture of his book, Thirteen Days.
