Kennedy Assassination Tops June News Funct
June 1968 headlines center on the Kennedy assassination after Robert F. Kennedy was shot following a California primary victory. Sirhan Sirhan was indicted for murder and assault, while the nation faced gun-control debates and security for remaining candidates. A memorial Mass and Arlington burial for RFK followed amid King assassination fallout and Poor People’s Campaign actions led by Abernathy. The month also saw a federal draft conspiracy verdict against Spock and Coffin, a major tax hike, and a record deficit.
