"On This Day in American History"

 



I will never forget this....

                               On June 5, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, 42, is fatally shot. The Democratic candidate for president had just won the California primary, and after wrapping up his victory speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, he was shot several times by Sirhan Sirhan. Kennedy was the likely nominee for the Democrats to run against Richard Nixon, but after Kennedy died on June 6, the nomination eventually went to Hubert Humphrey who lost to Nixon. Sirhan Sirhan remains in a California prison.
