RFK In The Land of Apartheid: A Ripple of Hope

RFK In The Land of Apartheid: A Ripple of Hope

Be sure to catch this film about RFK's June 1966 visit to South Africa. He gave one of his greatest speeches there, the Day of Affirmation Speech which was delivered on June 6, 1966.
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

The film will be airing on PBS stations on Monday, August 22nd.
