Speech to College Students in Utah

1968

Utah

The youthfulness I speak of is not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. . . . It does not accept the failures of today as a reason for the cruelties of tomorrow. It believes that one man can make a difference–and that men of good will, working together, can grasp the future and mold it to our will.

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.
