Hundreds gathered to commemorate the 50th anniversary of a speech by Robert F. Kennedy, in which he announced the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to a crowd in Indianapolis.

It's been nearly half a century since the death of Martin Luther King Jr. As the U.S. prepares to celebrate his work, it's worth asking: What does King's legacy mean for today's grass-roots activists?

Indiana Repertory Theatre's original play takes the audience back to the night of the MLK assassination through the eyes of a young Indianapolis woman. Geneva is a junior at Shortridge High School hoping to see Robert Kennedy speak, but she, like the others, has no idea it is not just a routine political campaign stop.
