“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation” - Bobby / Robert F. Kennedy

What made the Kennedys such great leaders, is they never pretended they could solve all the issues. They always inspired the people to take control of their own lives and ask themselves what they could do. They were forging a nation, and world, of people who thought for themselves and helped others. Such losses in such tragic circumstances. May God rest their beautiful souls.

@janetprice85 6 месяцев назад

They did change it. The 1964 Civil Rights Act destroyed apartheid laws in the south despite violent Democrat objections. I saw schools, colleges and businesses suddenly opened to Black citizens formerly impossible despite all the previous laws failing to accomplish it before. Eg, Previously there were no schools or overcrowded ones with second hand books and few could afford to go. Afterwards for the first time Black kids could go to school without going far from home. To a people mostly involved in domestic or farm labor this was life changing. I tutorrd kids sttaight out of 300 hundred years of apartheid poverty. They were bright as pennies. Eager to learn. Happy to hear they had a college they could go to in their town previously closed to them. It is wicked to tell a child he or she can not learn or do math because of their skin color.

I have listened to all 3 Kennedy brothers since JFK became president, when I was 15 years old and living in my native Denmark. At the beginning of the speech I thought it was JFK speaking, only to realize a bit later it was Ted Kennedy, he sounded much like his JFK. However, after awhile I recognized the text from the eulogy Ted gave for his brother Bobby. I agree great speech, all the Kennedy brother was eloquent speakers. All call for the best in others, all had a moral compass when it came to civil rights, the poor etc. (in private life, not so much, specially JFK and Ted). They are all missed, the all made the US better, and given more time both JFK and RFK would have a great impact on this country.

I agree, but unfortunately it was people like Ronald Reagan who actively opposed expansion of the freedoms people in America enjoy. Regan opposed the Civil Rights Act, Reagan supported the suppression of free speech through his participation in the Red Scare which destroyed the careers of hundreds of people who did not not play ball McCarthy, Reagan vetoed sanctions on Aperthaid South Africa. Reagan, along with his fellow Republican presidents, Nixon, W. Bush and Trump have done more than most in trying to curtail freedom.

@roughhabit9085 2 года назад

Apartheid was of course created in South Africa primarily due to the advent of minimum wages, a device that Reagan was surely opposed to . Reagan was not anti Civil Rights. He merely believed in achieving those goals ,rightly or wrongly, in a civil manner, not by coercion of the State . Coercion is not freedom. Coercion is not civility.

@@BilalAhmad-ff3xq Yes, but it was never entirely impossible to accomplish from a position of power. Bobby literally traveled the world trying to help people, striking out against social injustices in an effective and moral way which is why I feel that we need him (or somebody like him) in today's society.

What this man said resinates to us all today . Things have got worse and we are not moving forward, yes we may have technology but look at the cost , we have become polarised and judgemental and deeply divided. We are all human beings but at war with ourselves, the greedy have become more greedy and the rest of us are suffering because of this , the whole system is being wrecked so the few can benefit. We live on a beautiful planet which is being damaged for the few , and there is nowhere else to go. And war along with poverty continues and you realise that we have learnt nothing . We need to all look at ourselves and make a stand and make our world a better place , we have great minds and compassion, we can live so much better but until we change the current system and do what we know to be right we and heading for a cliff edge . Mankind is at a crossroads, and as the years go by this great speech still holds its power and emotion…… What could have been is gone , what we can be is still in our grasp, the question is are we going grab that chance or watch our world crumble. Only we can make that positive change for all our common good …….

Spectacular. To survive into the future, humanity must survive itself. All men were created equal: An enduring dream, lives cut short by an assassin's gun. The dream remains, as the future begins each day. The Kennedy family reflected values that still resonate.

Please confirm this as having been a speech first given by Robert Kennedy in 1966 then used in it’s entirety by his brother, Edward M.Kennedy as the eulogy for Robert. In all the years I have held the Kennedy brothers as my highest American ideals, I did not know, or remember this, and can think of no greater speech to confirm my opinion.

But that was spoken by his brother Ted, who was probably the greatest most effective U.S. Senator who ever lived. He survived the assassination of two elder brothers, the death of his eldest brother in WW II, and his elder sister's death in a plane crash by the time he was 35.

@angelalien157 2 месяца назад

Actually, the whole eulogy was a speech written and given when RFK was alive. Ted used this to represent his great and compassionate brother who cared so much for all the less fortunate people. All 3 brothers were so stand out for the country, although there were up and downs of each. No followers can be so true thereafter to represent the great country of the U.S. I had tears everytime I listen to this speech. Ted said his brother doesn't need to be idealized, but RFK was an idealist, he was the best of all 3 brothers. It's sad that Americans individualist have too much power to hate and rid of those who are better than them, without giving much thought that they also bring down the country and the poor citizens.
