On October 10, 2024, Barack Obama urged Black voters to support Kamala Harris, emphasizing the importance of their participation in the upcoming election.

The timing of these remarks holds historical significance, coinciding with the anniversary of events from 1968— the year both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were tragically assassinated. Notably, Obama’s comments also came on the same day that RFK’s wife passed away, 68 days before Pope Francis' birthday.

These remarks have sparked discussions, especially with the symbolic connections to key figures in American history and the broader political landscape leading up to the 2024 election.
