Address at the Annual Luncheon of the Associated Press, New York City

April 23, 1962

New York, NY

It is virtually impossible for even the most alert administration to be fully aware of all the corruption or laxity that can creep into our government. But an alert press can make a major difference not only in eliminating wasteful or corrupt practices, but in ensuring that justice prevails.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
