Yep. I was three when JFK was shot, but I remember the funeral messed up my cartoon viewing during the day. I do remember the little kid saluting as the hearse went by though.
There was pletty of hate for MLK, I had a few racist/redneck uncles who hate him as much as is being put on Obama. I live in Indy and we were very lucky that Bobby was in town when MLK was shot, he is the reason we didn't have any rioting here. Bobby was the first pres candidate I was excited about. Hard to see him killed just a few months later.
