Robert Kennedy Jr. recalls the 50th anniversary of the assassination of his father.

June 6th marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of US Senator Robert F. “Bobby” Kennedy at the age of 43 in Los Angeles, California. His death in 1968 came 5 years after the assassination of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, and only two months after that of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Pope Paul VI recalled Bob Kennedy at the Angelus address just three days after his death. “We would do well to remember his actions in favor of the poor, the dispossessed, the segregated, the need for urgent progress, and, in a word, social justice,” the Pope said.
To mark the fiftieth anniversary, Vatican News’ Alessandro Gisotti interviewed Robert Kennedy, Jr., son of the American politician, lawyer, environmentalist, and president of the Waterkeeper Alliance.
In a recently-published book entitled “American Values”, Robert Kennedy, Jr. told his father’s story and reflected on his legacy.
