Thanks for remembering this date with Dion's rendition of Abraham, Martin & John which included Bobby at the end. Our country has had turning points in its 250 years, but that decade alone stands out to me. And it was exactly at that moment, the day Bobby Kennedy died, that the fix was in. Bobby would have been our next President instead of Nixon. I remember it all well, being a young adult at that time. As for Dion, he was one of my favorite artisis.
