Robert Kennedy Presidential Campaign 1968

Great speech from RFK during his campaign in March of 1968! Runs just short of one hour FYI and starts out with a jab at Richard Nixon :

This is from PacificRadioArchives vault so I am not sure how long it will be there for so listen-up now while you can to a Democrat, the likes of which I rather think we'll never see again.

To this day I can only wonder *what if*.

Enjoy friends!

been liberal in most areas. I believe that we would have people living on the moon. The Greed is Good philosophy would not have arisen.

Too much to ponder

The night RFK was assassinated, I was actually watching the goings on in L.A. that night as an assignment for my fifth grade class. Do such assignments exist in a fifth grade classroom today? I don't know but I can only hope so.

If not for that assignment, I doubt his death would have made the stain it placed on my psyche that night at the age of 11 years old.

RFK was a fine man, perhaps too fine is all I can ever think.

Luckily we have archives such as this available today so he and his message will never be forgotten.
