Speech in Chicago

August,1963

|

Chicago, IL

There are those, frustrated by a difficult future, who grab out for the security of a nonexistent past. Frustrated by change, they condemned the wisdom, the motives and even the patriotism of those who seek to contend with the realities of the future. They search for the haven of doctrine.

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.
