Ted Kennedy spoke in Sitka, Alaska, in April 1968, just a few days after Martin Luther King’s assassination and just weeks before his brother Robert’s. As tumultuous a period as that was, and as unique the circumstances, his stirring speech holds up remarkably well. Timeless. Watch (starts at about the 5:20 mark).
