Kennedy. The front page headline read: “Kennedy Added to Martyr List: JFK, MLK, Evers” (click to view PDF of front page). Longtime Sentinel columnist A. S. “Doc” Young reported on the shooting: “Moments after [Robert F. Kennedy] had delivered an election victory speech to a cheering audience in the Ambassador Hotel...he was shot and critically wounded...The people were shocked. Some cried. Some cursed. Some prayed. Everyone died a little. For, in truth, at the moment that Senator Kennedy was shot, America died a little more.”
