In this video of a discussion at the 2011 Festival, Garamendi describes how the community in which he was living in Ethiopia reacted to the assassinations of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy. He also explains how this experience shaped his desire to pursue a career in public service.Filmed: Abby SternbergEdited: Rafadi Hakim, and Charlie Weber
