In the speech Kennedy talked about individual liberty, apartheid, and the need for civil rights in the United States at a time when the American civil rights movement was ongoing.

The greatest speech of my greatest hero. "What is a hero?" This is a hero. “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 crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

It was the responsibility of Bobby Kennedy to negotiate peace with the USSR in 1962 at the height of The Cuban Missile Crisis. Had he got that wrong we wouldn't be here now. He had to get it right and he did. The closest this planet has ever come to complete annihilation, and Kennedy's steadiness secured the future for us all. God rest Robert Francis Kennedy, he made the difference.

One thing about the presidency. A candidate gets elected on promises but events intervene that absorbs time better spent on fulfilling those promises. LBJ knew that Vietnam would undo his Great Society. Lincoln wanted nothing more than to expand the American System over the continent, Obama wanted to focus on health care, not an economy burning to the ground. Even Hoover had great plans, but.... Bobby would have had a hell of a time just extricating from Vietnam.

He was the greatest of the US potential, an existential arc of greatness. Like Kerouac said, he was a person who burned bright in the sky, until we all see the center light pop and go Ah....taken way too soon for all of us.

We have passed laws prohibiting discrimination in education, in employment, in housing; but these laws alone cannot overcome the heritage of centuries - of broken families and stunted children, and poverty and degradation and pain. So the road toward equality of freedom is not easy, and great cost and danger march alongside all of us. We are committed to peaceful and non-violent change and that is important for all to understand - though change is unsettling. Still, even in the turbulence of protest and struggle is greater hope for the future, as men learn to claim and achieve for themselves the rights formerly petitioned from others.

Robert Caskie What do you mean? Of course I try to feel and love and have compassionate and kindness, but I'm talking about our society in general today. Many of these new generations, for which I am a member of, only care about superficiality, fame, fortune, greed and will do anything to get it without any consideration of the feeling of others or what is ethical or not. And it's messed up and frankly disgusting and I try to rise above it, sometimes it's hard and the temptation is there but I try not to get sucked into that immoral black hole. I try to strive like Robert Kennedy did, he's my idol and inspiration and I think if more people thought and felt like him we would have a much greater world.

It appears that the gift of common sence is aperrent in this family and the ability to put that common sense into words that all understand.This speach really does show that there are people who,s point of view are the same as every man, that wish for peace and freedom, the very thing we see under huge attack in present days. Free speach is the begining of freedom, without it there are those who suffer at the hands of others and are unable to let others know. If mankind is acraid of nothing else, let him be afraid to allow others to dominate his ability to voice his ability to change forbthe better all those places that we see today so hell bent on removing the freedom of free speech.

Great orator yet words without actions are like smoke. Had he lived we would have been able to evaluate both. From that point until now we have moved backwards, the killings, drugs, segregation we have faced still haunt us. The wealth difference, job difference, has been the determinant and greed has been the God of many. Humanity is removed from the thoughts and replaced with selfishness. We have never started the road of equality nor Respect, a few govern the many. Lies and deceit control because common sense is not practiced. We are taught to seek how to live and buy things we will never own and depreciate as fast as we obtain them. Wake up. 6/29/19

should have less god fearing as there is no god. But a great speech. You should read the new book about him. The author is Larry Tye. It covers the last 20 years of his life. While he had flaws like other people, he was able to learn and change his views. He would have been a great president.

Sorry, but the white man who did more to end the apartheid was not Robert Kennedy, but F.W. de Klerk. The apartheid would've never ended for the de Klerk-Mandela led negotiations

What are you on about? No one ever claimed that RFK was the leader in the end of apartheid, but did he, in his time help to change the consciousness of the world. Yes. And the point of this address is that we all play a part in the whole of change no matter how small we may feel it is at the time.

​LOL. The speech most certainly did not "change the consciousness of the world." Like The Simpsons and the legend of Jebidiah Springfield, the legend of the speech is incredibly overrated.
