Robert Kennedy Quotes
America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity - the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired.
Kennedy, Robert F. The Pursuit of Justice. Harper & Row, 1964.
Penn observed the fact that most American social relationships are not multicultural in that Blacks in a restaurant tend to eat with other Blacks, whites and Hispanics the same. While America has a multicultural and diverse work environment and use of public services, it is still rare to see very integrated churches, social clubs, parties and other social activities. While Penn’s observation is correct, the trend is towards much more socialization on racial, religious, cultural, and geographical basis. There is much more intermarriage than in the past and with integrated families, many of the other social pluralism will follow. It was once thought that intermarriage would be the last barrier to fall and would follow from school, church, and other social integration. However, it appears that it is the other way around.
Robert Francis Kennedy, also referred to by his initials RFK or by the nickname Bobby, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. Senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968. He was, like his brothers John and Edward, a prominent member of the Democratic Party and has come to be viewed by some historians as an icon of modern American liberalism.
