Robert Kennedy’s death, like the President’s, was mourned as an extension of the evils of senseless violence; events moved on, and the profound alterations that these deaths … brought in the equation of power in America was perceived as random …. What is odd is not that some people thought it was all random, but that so many intelligent people refused to believe that it might be anything else. Nothing can measure more graphically how limited was the general understanding of what is possible in America.

Turning Point continues with one of the most startling omissions ever in a documentary on the Vietnam War. By jumping from 1956 to 1965, the film misses the monumental events of 1964, when Johnson broke from JFK and decided America would go to war with North Vietnam. Evidently, the filmmakers did not think this was important.

Political Assassinations of the 1960s
The sixties saw four significant political assassinations that have bled into history. These include the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X., Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy.
The tragedies shook Americans to the core – the political leaders they had seen a glimmer of hope ended up facing the same fate.
JFK’s death, perhaps, shook people the most.
To this day, Americans talk about their lost heroes in a golden light.
Here’s a short summary of political assassinations of the 1960s:
- On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding a motorcycle in Dallas, Texas.
- On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down by three men.
- On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was hit by a sniper’s bullet while he was standing on the balcony in front of his room in Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tennessee.
- On June 5, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was shot shortly after midnight at the Ambassador Hotel, LA.
