It is indecent for a man in the
streets of New York City, or Detroit, or Cleveland, or Watts, to surrender the
only life that he has to despair and to hopelessness, and I think we can change
it, I think that we can do better. I think we can do better in South Vietnam,
it’s not easy, there are no easy solutions or easy answers. And I don’t come to
you and say that I have an easy answer to all of these problems, but I say we
can do much, much better than we have in the past and if I am elected President
of the United States, we’ll do it. – RFK, 1968
