SITKA, ALASKA (2009-08-26) The late Senator Edward Kennedy toured Alaska in 1968. He addressed the state democratic party convention in Sitka on April 7th, just three days after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Rare video footage of Kennedy’s speech was made available to the public for the first time in January of this year, with the debut of the state library’s digital archival collection.
KCAW’s Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock covered the release of the historic video. The following is an encore presentation of her story. To watch the video, click on this story's title, then on the link "Watch the video here."
