Summary King, Martin Luther, -- Jr., -- 1929-1968 -- AssassinationOn the night of Dr. Martin Luther King's murder in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was scheduled to make an appearance in an African-American neighbourhood as part of his run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Upon hearing the tragic news, Kennedy was forced to make a crucial decision: should he venture into the heart of the Indianapolis inner city and talk to the potentially volatile crowd gathered in a park? What could he say that would assuage their grief? Should he defy the city officials who ordered him to stay away? Would his life be in danger? A Ripple of Hope tells the dramatic story of that night, and how by keeping his promise to speak in Indianapolis, Robert F. Kennedy was able to help that city avert the violence that swept the rest of the country and make a profound statement about American race relations.A Ripple of Hope draws on interviews with Kennedy aides and associates, as well as 'everyday people' who were in the crowd that night, to tell the story of an inspiring moment in American history.PRODUCTION DETAILS:The film is produced by Anderson University's Covenant Productions and directed by Donald Boggs
