This link is significant because it is the direct documentation of the war in Vietnam by Robert Kennedy himself. RFK first addresses the college attendees with a quote, encouraging them for rioting against the war. Kennedy apologizes for the seemingly useless attempts made to make Vietnam work, and continues to give consolation as he spreads out his plan to get the U.S. back on track. This is a very honest speech given by Kennedy, and this is key in winning over the public.

This link is the report of the death and assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. It clarifies the cause of death, and covers the shooter's identity and heritage. This link is best seen as an informal documentation of the event; as it may have been released on a television news program. The reporter covers the sentence of the killer, and reminds the public of the death of John F. Kennedy as well. It reminds us of the terrorist act of the assassination of JFK and how it relates to RFK's death.

This link provides information and documentation on the speech that R. Kennedy gave to the N.U.S.A.S. It is special because it shows Kennedy as an acting ambassador for the United States. It seems that Kennedy was giving a speech to the South Africans to give them an idea of what kind of government we have in America, and how their government can be shaped to work "as well as ours has". Kennedy also gives tips on how each individual can make an impact in their government, and how individuality shapes a nation.
