The video of Senator Robert Kennedy delivering the news of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination to an African-American rally in 1968 offers a look at how the story of self, us, and now can interact to strengthen agency at a very challenging moment.

What is public narrative?

Public narrative is a leadership practice that enables people to act on shared values and join together in collective action. By telling our story of self, story of us, and story of now, we can articulate the origins of why “I” care (who am I), why “we” care (who are we as a community), and why “now” (urgency), and motivate people to join us.
