Indy marks 40th anniversary of King slaying, Kennedy speech By Mike Smith, Associated PressDequan King, a 19-year-old member of the Dream Keepers, said he thought most black youth know of King’s primary objective.
“It’s that he dedicated his life to black people and to see that racism should be out of the country and out of this world because it’s evil,” he said. “But I think as they grow older they will understand more.” Eddie Booker, 72, of Indianapolis, said he was glad the commemoration ceremony was held. “As you can see, 40 years later people are still talking about Dr. King, so that’s one of the things that makes this important,” Booker said. “People have not forgotten how great he was.”
