Which two American national figures were assassinated in 1968?

Two great men and leaders!!!

Tragic year and within a few months.

Maestro1313, I was 13 and remember this well. Very turbulent times in the 60's. So much changed from music, the government, dress and language. The assassinations of these two strong good men was terrible .

Player #2930087, I was 9 but I remember my Mom was very upset.

I’ve always loved the Sixties—most fun decade of my life so far. Then I remembered how terribly violent it was too.

I remember my mom saying on January 1, 1969 that she hoped 1969 would be a better year than the last!

I used to think it was only Sirhan Sirhan, but after reading "The assination of Robert F Kennedy" there's room for doubt. Someone else was involved. Sirhan's gun was an 8 shot revolver, and there were 11 bullets found at the scene! Also, if you were alive at that time, Bobby's body was on the cover of time magazine, and under his head was a pool of blood. ( They never mention the bullet that was shot from behind Bobby's right ear) the fatal shot.

Wendy311, I agree I was in 8th grade at cedar point they announced it and shut down all the rides RFK great man
