Civil Rights Diary of An African American Supporter and Political organizer for Robert Kennedy
February 8, 1968
I woke up this morning feeling like a liberated woman. Yes that’s right, A “Woman!” Today is my 18th Birthday!! I went out into the kitchen hoping my mother had made me a birthday breakfast as she usually did every year, only to find that she was watching that former Attorney General, Senator Robert Kennedy gave one of his first actions to break from President Johnson and his stance on the Vietnam War. I believe that this may be the start of his push for the presidential nomination. I love the Kennedy Brothers!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. My purpose of being on this earth has come to me like an epiphany and it is all because of her the voice of one man. I think that man will have an impact on me forever.
Robert F. Kennedy announced his bid for presidency of United States of America for the Democratic Party. “I am today announcing my candidacy for the presidency of the United States,” he said. There is no better candidate to run for president than Robert Francis Kennedy. I have been watching and following his political career since the late 1950s. He started his career while being a leader for Civil Rights, Law and Order and Tax Reform. And his passion has leaded him to want to now lead this country to be more than it can and is capable of being.
This man’s numerous efforts have helped many racial minority families such as my own and I plan to repay him by help participate in his political campaign for in my community. Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign will bring hope and challenge to the American people troubled by discontent and violence, both at home and in the war in Vietnam. He has an agenda to bridge the gap between races, the rich and the poor, young
