Robert F. Kennedy
He is addressing the nation about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
I felt that his words, while somber and sad, were inspirational. He articulated the life of Martin Luther and was hoping to sooth the audience but reinforcing that while he is no longer living, his ideals should live on.
The speech has a slow, steady beat to it. It is dark in the subject matter but inspiring and soothing in the intent.
I believe the audience felt shocked, despair and sadness. I think that the speech is pretty strait forward and can’t be interpreted in very many ways.
