Today in labor history June 5 Shortly after midnight, Robert Kennedy was shot



June 5, 1968 - Shortly after midnight, Robert Kennedy was shot after just finishing a speech in a California hotel. He had won the California primary and four others and seemed a shoo-in for the Democratic presidential nomination. He died about 24 hours after the shooting; Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of the assassination.

1. Speaking only for myself,
I remember that time all too clearly and now I just avoid any articles that simply restate what I remember.

It's still too painful .....................
