On April 4, 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy delivered one of the greatest speeches in U.S. history.
Kennedy was in Indianapolis for a campaign event in his run for the presidency. At the rally, the New York senator and brother of a slain president delivered timeless remarks about civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., who had been assassinated earlier that evening.
This speech overflows with wisdom, but I do have a favorite gem of sage advice:
"Dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world."
