Robert F. Kennedy, November 20, 1925-June 6, 1968

"Some men see things as they are and say Why. I dream things that never were and say Why not."

In Memoriam

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968)

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

May he rest in peace.

For Mike

We've learned that last night, Mike, husband of our sister Port Writers Alliance bloguera, Diane, passed over. He was at home and his passing was peaceful. He was the love of her life, her best friend, her inspiration and muse.

Please keep their family in your thoughts and prayers.

In Memoriam

From the New York Times:

On June 21, 1964, three civil rights workers disappeared in Philadelphia, Miss. Their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. Eight members of the Ku Klux Klan went to prison on federal conspiracy charges; none served more than six years.

In Memoriam: The Hillsborough 96

The BBC remembers:

Twenty years ago 96 Liverpool supporters died at Hillsborough at an FA Cup Semi Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

The death of 96 Liverpool fans in a crush before the 1989 FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough led to an outpouring of grief on Merseyside and the subsequent introduction of all-seater stadiums following Lord Justice Taylor's inquiry in to the tragedy.

The 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was held on 15 April 1989.
