Mahatma Gandhi. Freedom fighter. Jailed many times in both South Africa and India. Made the Ruling Brits look like fools when they started beating on the innocent who did not fight back. He went on several long hunger strikes to support his cause and finally was taken out by a Muslim man who fired 3 bullets into his chest.
John F Kennedy. Despite his father being a powerful figure in the Boston Irish Mob John seemed to be one of the good ones. He fought racial intolerance shut down plans for fake attacks initiated to blame the Cubans for a reason to go to war. John said he would dismantle the CIA. John took a bullet to the head.
Martin Luther King Jr. Son of a famous minister. Unlike Malcom X he preached peaceful methods of equality was not always appreciated by fellow African Americans who favored more forceful ways. His famous speech,
“I have a dream,” he offered up hope that “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” and the desire to “transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”
“And when this happens,” he bellowed in his closing remarks, “and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'”
In April 1968 while standing on a hotel balcony a sniper bullet went through his neck. His family was convinced James Earl Ray was not the real killer.
Robert F. Kennedy. Several months after the death of MLK while campaigning for president this brother of JFK who challenged the mafia including Jimmy Hoffa, who championed civil rights and an end to the US involvement in Vietnam. Leaving the campaign ballroom Robert Kennedy was shot 3 times and killed by a Muslim man named Sirhan Sirhan.
There is always the conspiracy thought as to the who what and why of it all but I think we know. Don't screw with status quo.
