Video Information From RFK

Violence breeds violence. Repression breeds retaliation and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our souls. For there is another kind of violence slower,but just as deadly, destructive. It is a shot or bomb in the night this is the violence of institution, indifference in action and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin is different colors. This is the slow destruction of a child by hunger and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter. This is the breaking of a man's spirit by denying him the chance to stand as a father and as a man amongst other men but we can perhaps remember only for a time that those who live with us are our brothers and surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and become in our hearts brothers and countrymen once again (applause)
