How did the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy influence the 1968 Democratic convention?
Linam79
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.
