What I choose to research about:
I wanted to learn more about what happend when Robert Kennedy was murded in 1963.

It was in September the date was the 22th November 1963. He was visiting Dallas in Texas because he wanted to get the peoples trust and support for the upcoming election in 1964.
About a month ago before Kennedy went to Dallas, Adlai Stevenson, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations had been attacked, and Kennedy knew about this. The senator William Fulbright had warned him to go there, but he still went there.

When President Kennedy was traveling with his wife, Jacqueline, the governor, John Connally, and his wife Nellie in a big open limousine.
Then suddenly when he passed a corner of a hill close to the Texas School Book Depository, they herd several shots. Kennedy was shot several times in the head and the neck.
