What the world needs now ~Abraham Martin and John~
-What is segregation?
-I don?t know what seggeration is.
-What is bigotry?
-I don?t know what biggery is.
-What does... hatred mean?
-I don?t know what that is..
-What is prejudice?
-Hmm.. I think it?s when someone?s sick.
[whistle] -Rise and shine, boys!
-One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!
...(machine gun fire)...
...
Anybody here, seen my old friend John, can you tell me where he?s
gone?
-We?re at the Trademark, the motorcade is coming by here, I can see many
many motorcycles coming
by now, police motorcycles. Just heard a call on the radio for all
units along Industrial, to pick up the
motorcade.
Something?s happened here, we understand there has been a shooting. The
presidential car coming up
now, we know it?s the presidential car. We can see mrs Kennedy?s pink
suit, there?s a Secret Service
man spread eagle over the top of the car. We understand governor and
mrs Connolly are in the car,
with president and mrs Kennedy.
We can?t see who has been hit if anybody?s been hit, but apparently
something is wrong here,
something is terribly wrong. I am behind the motorcade now, (and as you
probably notice?) they?re
going to Parkland Hospital...
-We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin: Dallas
Texas, the flash, apparently official:
President John F. Kennedy died, at 1 p.m., central standard time.
Anybody here, seen my old friend Martin, can you tell me where he?s
gone?
He has freed a lot of people, but it seems the good they die young.
-We?ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn?t really matter
with me now. Because I?ve been to the
mountain top. And I don?t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live...
No-one can be certain who next will suffer, from some senseless act of
bloodshed.
Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby, can you tell me where he?s
gone?
.....to send you a message, I?ve been here too long already. So my
thanks to all of you, and now let?s go
on to Chicago, and let?s win there... [cheers]
-Senator Kennedy has been.., senator Kennedy has been shot, is that
possible?
-Oh my ***, senator Kennedy has been shot. ....hold of a man, who
apparently.. just fires a shot.
Get that gun, get that gun, get that gun, stay away from the gun! His
hand is frozen, get a hold of his
palm, and break it if you have to, get it... Get the gun... hold
him, hold him, we don?t want another
Oswald...
-Like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty. That is the
way he lived, that is what he leaves
us. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond
what he was in life. Be remembered
simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it,
saw suffering and tried to heal it,
saw war and tried to stop it.
-Those of us who loved him, and who take him to his rest today, pray
that what he was, to us, what he
wished for others, will some day come to pass for all the world. As he
said many times, in many parts of
this nation, those he touched, and who sought to touch him; ?-Some men
see things as they are, and
say Why; I dream things that never were, and say Why Not??...
What the world needs now, is love sweet love, no not just for some, but
for eve-ry..-one...
