Robert Kennedy


R

obert F. Kennedy, popularly known as Bobby, served as Attorney General in his older brother John F. Kennedy’s administration and was later elected as a U.S. Senator. After his brother’s death, Robert Kennedy triumphed in politics. A bright future lay ahead when he won the California Democratic Primary on June 4, 1968, but an assassin’s bullet took his life only two days later. He became, like his brother, a political legend in American history, promising great potential, yet meeting a tragic, early end to his life and his country’s dreams.
