When New York City Mourned R.F.K.

Some people crossed themselves as they went by the coffin; others reached out and touched its lid; a few bent down to brush it with their lips.

Bobby Kennedy finishes his speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on June 5, 1968 – he would be assassinated moments later in the kitchen of the hotel

…The reality is that America got Nixon instead of Bobby, war not peace, despair and division instead of hope and unity. (…) Fifty years have passed since Robert F. Kennedy died on June 6, 1968, but his dream of a better America lived on. Given everything that’s going on today at home and abroad, Kennedy’s patriotism, principles, sense of decency and dedication to truth, liberty and justice for all are more relevant than ever. Bobby personified America’s better angels. He became a symbol for civil rights and aided those in need regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, class or religion. – Richard Aquila

Dr. King used to say you have to be maladjusted to the problems, to the issues that you see around us. Robert Kennedy was maladjusted. Martin Luther King Jr. was maladjusted. They had the ability to get in the way. Today we’re too quiet, we’re too silent. We need to find a way to push and pull, and disturb the sense of false peace, and the sense of false order that we have in our society today. – Rep. John Lewis

For the fortunate among us, the danger is comfort, the temptation to follow the easy and familiar paths of personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those who have the privilege of education. But that is not the road history has marked out for us. There is a Chinese curse which says “May he live in interesting times.” Like it or not we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty; but they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history. And everyone here will ultimately be judged-will ultimately judge himself-on the effort he has contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which his ideals and goals have shaped that effort. – RFK, 1966

Happy birthday, Robert Francis Kennedy! {November 20, 1925}

Looks like Bobby and Ethel on one of their mid-‘60s rafting trips. So sweet him helping her down.

Crisis: Behind a Presidential Commitment – outtakes (1963)

[fuckyeahbobbykennedy]

Jane Byrne had met [Bobby] for the first time several weeks earlier and decided he had a nuts-and-bolts attitude combined with a certain softness and could sense instinctively when you were over your head. "I remember thinking that he looked like that big award-winning soldier - Audie Murphy. Bobby had that chiseled, rugged, hansome look. You knew he could handle himself equally well at a black tie affair or in the midst of an Irish brawl." His eyes were what struck her the most. "He had big, blue eyes. They were nice eyes; they didn't look crude or arrogant."

In 1960, Jane Byrne worked in the Chicago office of the JFK campaign. Later she became the first woman to be elected as a mayor of a major city in the United States. She served as the 50th Mayor of Chicago.

In a speech he gave in the aftermath of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, Robert F. Kennedy, my father, asked that we “dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.”

sadly, I can’t read this from Europe because of the GDPR but I hope you can :)
