Monday, January 18 at 8 pm on KPJK TV in the South Bay. A Ripple of Hope captures an extraordinary and uplifting event against the backdrop of one of the most volatile and memorable Presidential campaigns in US history. On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy – a contender for the Democratic nomination for President – was en route to Indianapolis to make a campaign stop in a predominantly African American neighborhood. In Memphis, TN that same night, gunman James Earl Ray shot and mortally wounded the leader of the civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Upon hearing the tragic news, Kennedy made a crucial decision: risking his own life and defying city officials, he ventured into the inner city and addressed the grief-stricken crowd gathered in a park.
