Forty years ago, Robert Kennedy predicted that in forty years, America would have a Black president. Imagine that.

This is part two of our interview with Kerry Kennedy, on the occasion of the naming of the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge. Formerly the Triborough Bridge it connects Manhattan to Harlem, the South Bronx, and Queens. Robert F. Kennedy himself moved to the North Bronx when he was just a few months old and grew up in New York. His daughter Kerry says that even as a politician her father believed that strength came from working together as a community. And when he campaigned in 1968 Robert Kennedy stood alongside Caesar Chavez, traveled to the Mississippi Delta, to Indian Reservations, and toured Appalachia as a sign of the kind of community he hoped to build. On GRITtv Kerry Kennedy discusses her father’s legacy and the ongoing work of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
