Senator Robert F. Kennedy's speech was delivered after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. His speech persuaded people, especially the blacks, not to turn to hatred/anger due to what happened to Luther. Although that incident could immediately cause a division between the whites and the blacks, Kennedy was seeking people's understanding hearts and minds in order to become united rather than resorting to violence. If everybody will have compassion and unity, according to him, justice will prevail despite the assassination.
