In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Robert Francis Kennedy's
death, an inspiring collection of his most famous speeches
accompanied by commentary from notable historians and public
figures. Twenty-five years after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated,
RFK: His Words for Our Times, a celebration of Kennedy's life and
legacy, was published to enormous acclaim. Now, a quarter century
later, this classic volume has been thoroughly edited and updated.
Through his own words we get a direct and intimate perspective on
Kennedy's views on civil rights, social justice, the war in
Vietnam, foreign policy, the desirability of peace, the need to
eliminate poverty, and the role of hope in American politics. Here,
too, is evidence of the impact of those he knew and worked with,
including his brother John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Martin
Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez, among others. The tightly
curated collection also includes commentary about RFK's legacy from
major historians and public figures, among them Barack Obama, Bill
Clinton, Eric Garcetti, William Manchester, Elie Wiesel, and
Desmond Tutu. Assembled with the full cooperation of the Kennedy
family, RFK: His Words for Our Times is a potent reminder of Robert
Kennedy's ability to imagine a greater America-a faith and vision
we could use today.
