Robert F. Kennedy, Indianapolis, April 4, 1968, announcing the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to a crowd that had no idea. Not a graduation speech, but the kind of address every commencement keynote speaker still studies when they want to talk about grief without turning it into hatred. RFK doesn't perform composure here. He tells a mostly Black crowd that he lost a family member to violence too, and instead of asking for calm he asks for understanding, on the worst night to ask for it.
