Today marks the 50th anniversary of Robert “Bobby” Francis Kennedy's assassination in Los Angeles, California. After being mortally wounded on June 5, 1968, Kennedy died in the early hours of June 6. This handheld fan, made in the 1970s, unites Kennedy with two other leaders that Americans lost in the 1960s: President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Robert Kennedy dedicated much of his life to public service. While serving as the nation's Attorney General, Kennedy pushed to safeguard Americans' civil rights and fought against organized crime. As a U.S. Senator, Kennedy became a critic of the Vietnam War and an advocate for the War on Poverty.
In March of 1968, Kennedy announced his candidacy for President of the United States and quickly became a front-runner in the race to secure the Democratic Party's nomination. Just a few weeks after the announcement, during a campaign stop in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kennedy had the unenviable task of announcing to a crowd of supporters that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee. Two months later, on June 5, 1968. Kennedy himself was shot and mortally wounded in Los Angeles's Ambassador Hotel.
This fan unites both Kennedys and King under the title of "Freedom Fighters." It attributes a brief quote to Robert Kennedy, a paraphrase of quotation from George Bernard Shaw: "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." #AmericanHistory #PresidentialHistory #PoliticalHistory #CivilRightsHistory #ReligiousHistory #AmericanDemocracy #LAHistory #CaliforniaHistory #RFK #50thAnniversary #1968 #1960s #ThisDayInHistory #TDIH #OTD #OnThisDay #CivilRights #RFK50
