I was in the special education 3rd grade at a San Diego elementary school. My speech teacher told me something about Kennedy, but I could not understand.

Only when I got home did I see the TV on. There was a big car pulling up to the plane. That's when I realized that something bad happened to Kennedy.

How about Martin Luther King Jr. (a few years later).
What are your memories from that day??

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I was at school playing duck, duck goose. The principal came to the door of the classroom, in tears. The teacher went out in the hall and came back crying and told us all...

I was in junior high, in the 7th grade, when that happened.

So the memories must be more vivid than Kennedy. Could you please share the reaction of you and your peers?

Kennedy - I was in elementary school - there was an announcement on the P.A. system.

King - I was out riding around with friends, and didn't know anything about it until the next morning

Bobby Kennedy - again, I didn't know about it until the morning - I was in bed when it happened
