The assassination increased tensions among delegates, antiwar protesters, and the police. The shootings revealed how much of a divided nation we have become. It also showed two very clearcut examples of people being frustrated enough by the "system" to take up weapons and take ( what they considered the only way open to them ) the law into their own hands. It showed the power of HATE.
Lyndon Johnson, in 1968, signed legislation establishing Hispanic Heritage Week. (This was expanded to a month during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, in 1988.)
At the Democratic National Convention of 1968 in Chicago, riots took place in the wake of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s and Robert F. Kennedy's assassinations. These events symbolized a particularly turbulent era.

The 1968 Democratic convention really showed the division in the nation. Several things happened that Spring that made it seem like the world was on fire. In April MLK was killed and in June Bobby Kennedy was killed. There were the Watts riots and the demonstrations against the Vietnam War. The largest draft in US history took place in 68 and it seemed as if the war was expanding. I was 18 in 1968 and this still sticks with me and remains in the memory of people today.
