1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Kennedy–King Establishment Act of 2018 . 2. Findings Congress finds as follows: (1) On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy had scheduled a speech in Indianapolis, Indiana, during his campaign for the presidency of the United States. (2) Just before giving his remarks, Mr. Kennedy was informed of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before the news became widely known publicly. (3) Mr. Kennedy changed his planned remarks to instead inform the large gathering of Dr. King’s death and did so in a manner that called for a non-violent reaction to the violent death. (4) Mr. Kennedy’s call for non-violence in a moment of unbearable pain helped temper Indianapolis’ reaction to Dr. King’s assassination so that, unlike many other cities that erupted in violence and rioting, Indianapolis did not suffer riots or bloodshed in the days after Dr. King’s assassination. (5) Mr. Kennedy’s speech on this volatile occasion has been described as one of the great addresses of the 20th Century as a call for unity in a time of great unrest. (6) Mr. Kennedy’s heartfelt leadership and call for non-violence in the face of violence, and prior to his own assassination, continues to be a model for Americans everywhere. (7) The current park site was established in 1961 and has served the community as a gathering place for social movements and engagement, which is why it was selected as the location for Mr. Kennedy’s speech. (8) A memorial sculpture, Landmark for Peace honoring Mr. Kennedy and Dr. King was erected on the site in 1994 to commemorate the events of April 4, 1968 and the message of non-violence taught by both leaders. (9) Mr. Kennedy’s improvised remarks to a stricken community continue to resonate today and this site continues to inspire social engagement with his words, Why don’t we make a monument to peace where all of us can live together, not with walls coming up but with walls tearing down, so we can go forward together.
