RFK was a compelling figure because he was willing to challenge his audiences, and in turn connect with them in a unique way. Kennedy showed that our values define us and can inspire others to believe in the possibility of change and a better society. ↗

On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself. ↗
