The Promise Land Document 3

In the Promise Land Document 3, Senator Robert Kennedy talked about how our country should end violence and attain more peace.  Roberty Kennedy adressed the importance of unifying our country together instead of dividing it.  He also stated that most black and white people wanted to be integrated and joined together for the most part and that there is hope for our future.  This statment was important by Roberty Kennedy because he adressed the importance of perserverence and for our country to keep on fighting for what they believe in order to achieve their belief.  This document composed by Robert Kennedy was mainly to try to unify our whole coutry together by stating of all the blacks to not be tempted to consider using violence.  That decision will not only hurt you, but it will affect the whole country.  And Robert Kennedy adressed to the white people to help guide them along and fight along side with them with support.  If we do this, this will direct our country into the right direction and will lead everyone in our country to the persuit of happiness.  He is saying that this as a result will make our country stronger.
connection question 4:
What are the difficulties that movements face with the death of a charismatic leader?
   The difficulties that movements face with the death of a charistmatic leader is that people don't know what direction to go to next.  People won't have that great leader to help guide them into the right direction and keep them strong.  Also, charistmatic leaders bring hope and confidence to their people.  When a great leader leaves his people, people then will lose their hope and confidence and will have a hard time rebuilding it. It's can be sometimes difficult to move on from the past.  Once a memory is with you, it can last forever.  The hardest part of that memory is to move on from it and recooperate from it and become stronger again.  Other difficulties that movements face are that they will feel compelled to have revenge on death of their charistmatic leader in order to feel better again.  But using violence like Roberty Kennedy said is not the right answer and will not only hurt yourself but others around you.  People need to stay strong and keep on fighting peacefully in order to overcome their conflictions and grow stronger from them.  But this is a hard concept to understand and grasp which is why there is great difficulty when people or movements  come face to face with death of someone that they once loved.
