RFK

  



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
