Just a very cool little park space with great meaning - look for a marker made of guns advocating peace by the Kennedy wall...

This is a historic park. Robert Kennedy was in town to speak.When he heard that Martin LutherKing had been killed, he asked the citizens of Indianapolis not todestroy property but instead to do as Dr. King would do and respond peacefully.Visit this quiet park downtown at 17th and College. Google the events that are personified therewith the statues of Dr.King andRobert Kennedy reaching across their differences to bring peace.

I am proud of the legacy represented by Martin Luther King, Jr. And I am glad to live in a city where even on a frigid cold day people were spontaneously gathering at this memorial in Indianapolis testifying to the power of the greatest dream of all!

Fine park with an inspiring message that resonates today, particularly during these trying times. Kennedys speech should be broadcast on national tv. Perhaps folks would see that we all arent that much different, that destruction and violence is not the answer.

It was very hard to find to get to this place back when I visited it for extra credit for my U.S. History class. However, it was indeed worth it! It was just so cool to be in such a historic place. There is also a little sign of the speech Robert Kennedy spoke at the spot. Very cool!

Read the placards and really tried to feel what the words meant. We all could better by listening to King and Kennedy when they talk about how to treat one another.

A historical landmark in one place that did not erupt after the assination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. due to 1968 Presidential candidate Robert Kennedys empathic presence and calming words in Indianapolis.

Make sure you read up on your history of April 4, 1968 before you come here. It will bring more meaning to your experience. Besides the racetrack, this is about the only other remarkable thing about Indy. Couple words of advice: Its not in the best of neighborhoods of Indy. So, dont look like a tourist, lock your car, and keep valuables out of sight.

I just saw the 2009 movie called The Ripple of Hope. I would suggest you watch that show and then go visit the memorial. It would be a important lesson in American history. Two of the finest humans and most important Americans have lived that stood for justice and human rights... Know history or be doomed to repeat it. Peace on earth and goodwill to all people.
