Democracy Now! Special: Robert F. Kennedy's Life and Legacy 40 Years After
His Assassination
Forty years ago today, on June 5, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy had just won the
California Democratic primary, a major boost in his campaign for the
Democratic presidential nomination. Just after midnight, Kennedy addressed
supporters at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, in what would be the last
moments of his life.

Today, we spend the hour playing excerpts of rare Robert F. Kennedy speeches
and the new documentary RFK Must Die: The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy. We
also play a never-before broadcast address by Kennedy speaking to students
at St. Lawrence University in Canton in 1966 and the man who recorded it. We
also speak with journalist John Pilger who covered Kennedy's campaign and
was with him when he was shot, and we speak with labor organizer Dolores
Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America, whose cause
Kennedy championed.

Surprisingly he wasn't as anti-war as I thought he was.

  • I'm waiting for Drifting to get back from the Alex Jones fest at Bilderberg. He's dug deep deep into the Kennedy legacy.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
