i was a 21-year-old college
student when bobby kennedy ran
for president.
and it was a remarkable
campaign, unlike any i've seen
before or after.
it was a campaign that truly
focused on equity and
opportunity.
it was a campaign about
unrepresented farm workers in
california.
it was a campaign about poverty
and hunger and children starving
to death in the mississippi
delta and the pine ridge
reservation.
and it was a campaign that asked
difficult and disturbing
questions, questions about a gdp
that measured wealth but not
well being.
questions about how we could
allow this to exist, these
contradictions in the wealthiest
nation in the world?
and questions about how we were
as americans and low human
beings.
and it was a short campaign.
lasted 82 days from when he
announced until when he was
assassinated on june 6th which
interestingly enough was the
24th anniversary of d-day.
i was inspired by that campaign
