It was a great statement that RFK made and an excellent speech by Obama today. You don't have to be in Memphis commemorating where a person was murdered. You can express your appreciation for a person's life and work anywhere especially on this sad day.

Here is the poem RFK recites in this statement:

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot foget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God.
