I'm watching JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America.
And I wonder what kind of country we'd have had John and Bobby Kennedy, MLK, and Malcom X not been murdered. What do you think would be different, if anything.
I think about my parents, my dad who marched in DC for civil rights, my mom who still gets teary when talking about the Kennedy assassinations (both), and think about the values they raised me with. Both loved these men, that were taken from us much too soon, and I wonder...did they help shape the way I was raised? Help shape my beliefs, through my parents?
I wasn't around during their time here, everything I've learned I've read, watched, or learned from my family.
So I don't know that I can make an accurate "guess" as to what things would be like, but I believe from all I've learned that things would be so much better.
What do you think?
