Robert F. Kennedy's Unfinished Odyssey
NEW!
Robert Kennedy's life was cut short by an assassin
at age forty-two during the 1968 presidential campaign.
This course will examine his life growing up
in the Kennedy clan, his work managing JFK's campaigns,
his work as a Senate committee counsel investigating
Communist influence and labor union racketeering,
his service as attorney general, his campaign
and service as senator from New York, his eighty-five day
campaign for President in 1968, and his assassination
and funeral. The course will explore questions
of "what if" he had lived and served as president.
