We missed him. Our chance to change things came and passed and we did not know it was there. A dark- skinned little boy sat through Sunday School classes for three years at a great Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas, but some one missed him. His name was Sirhan Sirhan, and at age 24 he shot and killed Senator Robert Kennedy. In a welter of words and the shudder of grief throughout our nation, the persistent thought keeps recurring…someone missed him.

— Pastor Dr. Jimmy Allen, in Pulpit Helps, May 1991
