pressure on the democratic machinery. >> and the may 7th primary is critical to the kennedy strategy of demonstrating to party leaders across the country that he is the one democratic candidate who can win big. >> in the end it is going to be decided who is going to be the nominee for the democratic party and therefore who is going to be the next president of the united states. >> mccarthy couldn't get any black vote. bobby kennedy managed to get black vote and also get a lot of the established democrats. so his support looked very broad. >> well, senator robert kennedy has won the first primary test in his attempt to secure the democratic nomination for the presidency. >> my father really focused on the people in this country. his appeal was to really the most disenfranchised classes, people who lived in appalachia, blacks who lived in the delta, people from harlem, watts, oakland, and of course farm workers. very similar to martin luther

king focusing on the poor and working people. >> in the aftermath of dr. king's assassination, it's coretta scott king who has the legacy of her husband to draw upon to make the case that change was needed now. >> my husband always said that if anything happened to him to carry on his work for his people. >> coretta was always an activist. before martin was an activist. and she continued to be outspoken in order to make the point that you can kill my husband, but this movement is going to go on. >> we have seen the power of nonviolence in the movement for civil rights. the campaign for the poor must go on. >> king's notion was to try to put pressure on congress to try to do something about the issue of poverty.
