    Fine, let's put the event in context. The fuller context is that at the time RFK had not yet been killed, MLK had not yet been killed, Rockwell had not yet been killed, Malcom X had not yet been killed... in fact Medgar Evers was the only one on the list who died prior to Kennedy, and until he made headlines by his death he was a relatively obscure figure. Kennedy's assassination was not yet one more in a mind-numbing succession of similar events; he kicked off the shitstorm. It was completely unexpected, and was like a kick in the stomach to the entire nation. It was a national trauma.
    Yes... and the 'Weather Underground' didn't exist before 1969, the Black Panther Party not even until 1966.

    There were a couple of bombings of 'black' churches in 1963, though...

    So, maybe a Klan connection to JFK's death?
