Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated two months before the death of whom?"
Amid the tragedy of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4th, 1968, an extraordinary moment in American political history occurred as Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy, broke the news of King's death to a large gathering of African Americans that evening in Indianapolis, Indiana. Some describe it as one of the greatest speeches ever made. Just two months later, Robert Kennedy himself was gunned down during a celebration following his victory in the California primary.
