I remember how exited everyone in New England was when he was running in 68.
Then they took him from us.

After school resumed in August, it seemed like a lot of the Bobby kids had become Wallace kids.

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” RFK

Happy Birthday Bobby. We are still following you and we have a great new leader we think you would like.

about when JFK was murdered, some more with Malcolm X, a lot with MLK and RFK, I'm now 58. Before 1968, I was hearing my right wing father rail on about the hippies and the commies, those draft dodgers and intellects....how much he hated LBJ. Well I stopped listening.
