A Ripple of Hope

Advised against appearing before an inner city crowd in Indianapolis the night Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Robert Kennedy delivered an extemporaneous speech that brought a sense of peace to the city. This film weaves together first-person accounts of that tumultuous day in 1968.
