In addition to the Kennedy assassination, other assassinations have changed the course of American history. We encourage you to investigate the political climate surrounding these deaths and come to a fuller understanding of how these historical events changed individual lives, our nation and perhaps the world, especially as people search for answers and also continue the social justice legacy of these heroes.

"What I think is clear, is that we can work together in the last analysis, and what has been going on within the United States over a period of the last three years -  the division, the violence, the disenchantment with our society; the divisions, whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent, or between age groups or on the war in Vietnam - is that we can start to work together. We are a great country, an unselfish country, and a compassionate country. I intend to make that my basis for running."

Robert Francis Kennedy,

June 5, 1968, the day of his death

Martin Luther King, Jr

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, 'We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream today!"

Martin Luther King, Jr.
from "I Have A Dream," August 28, 1963

 EversMedgar Wylie Evers African American civil rights leader whose assassination for his work as field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Mississippi galvanized the Civil Rights Movement.

As a representative of the NAACP, Medgar Evers worked for the most established and in some ways most conservative African American membership organization. He was, by all accounts, a hardworking, thoughtful, and somewhat quiet
man. Yet the work Evers did was groundbreaking, even
radical, in that he risked (and eventually lost) his life bringing
news of his state's violent white supremacy to nationwide
attention. When Evers was assassinated in his front yard by
Byron de la Beckwith, a white racist, he became a symbol of
Movement. Killed June 12, 1963.
