RFK link?

[kevin881]

I saw the movie Bobby last night with my wife. I was trying to explain to her the reception that RFK got during the DNC in 64, when he came on stage to give a memorial speech about his brother John F. Kennedy.

I remember there was something like 20 minutes of ovation, and he was genuinely embarrassed by the crowd's response to his presence on stage. I remember him stepping back from the podium, as if he did not know what to do...

Does anyone have a link to this video? I have searched through google all day and havent been able to find it... only the audio of the speech.

Thanks!

1. No, but I do remember it well.

Pretty much as you described.

2. I dont actually remember it as it happened

...since I was born in 1969. At some point I saw the video of it in full... I wish I knew where or when. It wasn't recently, and wasn't on the internet.

Anyhow, in my meanderings this afternoon I found the following link to some audio recordings of his speeches. The "Mindless Menace of Violence" speech the day after(?) MLK was killed is by far my favorite.
