The caption reads: A POWERFUL AND PROPHETIC THOUGHT RENDERED BY ROBERT KENNEDY 40 YEARS AGO: He gave a speech to the "Voice of America" all around the world and despite what was going on in the country, particularly in Alabama, Bobby Kennedy said this in 1968:
"Things are moving so fast in race relations a Negro could be president in 40 years. There's no question about it,in the next 40 years a Negro can achieve the same position that my brother has. Prejudice exists and probably will continue to, but we have tried to make progress and we are making progress. We are not going to accept the status quo."
Speak the Truth!
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old SjP ain't got nothing more to say.
