Both men were great leaders in there time, and unlike most politicians in there time; the spoke out against the war in Vietnam. This was a huge deal back in there time. Dr. King had already been in all kinds of civil rights movements and now turned his attention towards the war which put allot of pressure on the government. Robert Kennedy was one of the first well known politicians to make his opinion ,on the war ,clear to the nation. Even in his campaign he publicly voiced his opposition. As we know both men were shot and killed not long after they spoke out against the war.
