It reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel lyrics:

"Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you"

Thank you for remembering. Bobby Kennedy continues to inspire generations to dream, "Why not?

This is one of the most important, significant, poignant and beautiful speeches ever given in the history of politics. I was not born when this speech was delivered and recently stumbled across it. I read it, eventually heard it, and totally amazed by its brilliance, complexity and simplicity. I somehow wish that I could share this powerful speech by Mr. Kennedy to the world...but especially to the place where I grew up, South Central Los Angeles. I am forever moved!

All were weeping.
"That was a lousy jump, don't cry . . ."
"Kennedy has been shot . . . "
I could tell from their hopeless faces that the world had changed -- again. That was the summer that forgot to be green. And her vacation was long.

In the summer of 1968, I remember something I will never forget. While playing in the sand on that day, a tall shadow cast itself blocking the high-setting sun. It was a man in a suit blocking the sun and he extended his hand out to me, smiling. Later, by the time I reached 4 yrs old, and after seeing a picture of "a man" of similar stature I remember telling my mother, "it's him, he said hi to me." My mom said "no, he's been dead."
I can only say, having being fond of RFK, his words, his deeds, I know now that that summer 0f '68 as his body was passing through our state of New Mexico, somehow he visited me - a toddler Indian boy plaing in the sand.
