Just the other day was the anniversary of the date when RFK was assassinated. It has become known in the history field as the trifecta of assassinations. First JFK, then MLK, and the RFK.
All of these murders were horrendous. But there was a huge difference with Bobby Kennedy’s murder. He was just starting. King and JFK had been doing their fights. They had already had huge impacts on society. Bobby was just beginning. How different our country would have been if he had been president. I know he would have won if he had not been killed. RFK had a spirit that seemed different than his brother. Still austere and grand, there was a little something more down to earth. I just feel he had great things to accomplish and they never even seen the light of day.
Because Bobby Kennedy had not become as huge in the public eye as his brother and Martin Luther King, many times he is forgotten about. But we should not forget about him. He had a vision and a drive, and we should all hope that people who choose to try and represent us will also see what he had and try and take on his ideals.
