Bobby Lives in So Many Today
Monday November 20th would have been Bobby Kennedy’s 81st birthday. I loved Bobby Kennedy. I remember being mesmerized by him when ever they covered his campaign on the evening news. The first person to stir my passion for change was Bobby. I grew up in Los Angeles, on the wrong end of Sunset Blvd. By mom was a waitress who would feed me and my 4 brothers and sisters before going off to work. She would come home in the afternoon and feed us again after school and then go off to waitress on the dinner shift at another restaurant. Bobby talked about poverty and somehow reached through that old black and white TV we had that you had to tab gently to get a picture — and triggered in me a hope that things could be different — and that I could make a difference. “Some men see things as they are and ask why? I dream things that never were and ask, why not?” I would lean towards the old black and white and help Bobby complete that sentence so many times — he had this speaking style with awkward pauses and you just wanted to help him finish the sentence. Any way — the Ambassador Hotel was just 7 or 8 blocks away from my house — I was so happy when Bobby won the California Primary that night in June of 1968. Maybe the war would end sooner now — maybe the poor would have a champion in the White House. And then Bobby declared victory — and then he was gone. But he wasn’t. I was involved and engaged in making a difference because of him — as were countless others. When I was running the Dean campaign and I watched thousands getting involved for the first time – all trying to make a difference — it struck me that whatever it was that Bobby had awoken in me — the Dean campaign was awakening anew in a generation that never knew Bobby. That what ever impact I had on the Dean campaign was directly tied to Bobby inspiring me to make the fight all these years. I write this because the movie “Bobby” is out today — and I hope those who were inspired to make a difference in 2004 and 2006 take the time to see it and realize how much Bobby’s spirit, his hope, his idealism, and his fight for progressive change lives in so many of us today.
