From the Indystar.
Yesterday marked not only the 40th aniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. but also the aniversary of pivotal remarks by Senator Robert Kennedy in the midst of a heated presidential campaign itself framed in the middle of a controversial war, remarks that still strike home today. Kennedy broke the news of the death of Martin luther King Jr. to an expectant campaign crowd in the midst of one of the most violent neighborhoods in the city. A riot was expected, so much so that the mayor and chief of police refused Kennedy any police escort and tried to convince him not to go. He did"When they came around the corner here, the police on their motorcycles pulled away, and they left my dad with a few friends," Max Kennedy said. I think of that moment as an iconic moment in American history."
Because of his words the crowds on the street of Indianapolis that night when there were any were gathered together in prayer and vigil and not for violence and recrimination. That is the power of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. Two vangaurds of the civil rights movement who both died before seeing thier dream of bridging the social and racial divides in this country. A struggle that ultimately is still lest unfinished even in the present.
Speaking on behalf of Barack Obama Ethel Kennedy for the first time came to Indianapolis to celebrate that legacy, and to see the monument to Kennedy and King at the location of her husbands landmark speach in 1968. The monument depicts them both as parts of individual slabs of metal breaking out of each mold they stand arms outstretched reaching out to bridge the same gaps they sought to bridge in life. Ehtel looking up at the monument for the first time said "Thank you, this is such a great tribute." to the crowd that had gathered around her to pay thier respects to both slain civil rights leaders.
Kennedy had this to say in her speach. "Obama has reached across cultural, racial, economic and party lines. People are drawn to him. He is a rock. He is inspiring," she said. "He has gotten so many people interested in politics."

A little known Polish Holiday which is a venerated political tradition celebrated in South Bend Indiana where buckets of water can be thrown at anyone as well as dirty dishes and pussywillows which women may throw at men. The origins of the tradition are somewhat murky but it's hard not to deny the inherent fun involved. Obama sent his own high level Indiana surrogate former Democratic Congressman Tim Roemer. Niether side's surrogates threw water on eachother though considering the amount of hot air and rhetoric from both sides it might have been nice to see the steam rising off of both.
