Book excerpt: In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Robert Francis Kennedy’s death, an inspiring collection of his most famous speeches accompanied by commentary from notable historians and public figures. Twenty-five years after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, RFK: His Words for Our Times, a celebration of Kennedy’s life and legacy, was published to enormous acclaim. Now, a quarter century later, this classic volume has been thoroughly edited and updated. Through his own words we get a direct and intimate perspective on Kennedy’s views on civil rights, social justice, the war in Vietnam, foreign policy, the desirability of peace, the need to eliminate poverty, and the role of hope in American politics. Here, too, is evidence of the impact of those he knew and worked with, including his brother John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez, among others. The tightly curated collection also includes commentary about RFK’s legacy from major historians and public figures, among them Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Eric Garcetti, William Manchester, Elie Wiesel, and Desmond Tutu. Assembled with the full cooperation of the Kennedy family, RFK: His Words for Our Times is a potent reminder of Robert Kennedy’s ability to imagine a greater America—a faith and vision we could use today.

Download or read book The Promise and the Dream written by David Margolick and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating, elegiac account” of the bond between two of the Civil Rights Era’s most important leaders—from the journalist and author of Strange Fruit (Chicago Tribune). With vision and political savvy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy set the United States on a path toward fulfilling its promise of liberty and justice for all. In The Promise and the Dream, Margolick examines their unique bond, both in life and in their tragic assassinations, just sixty-two days apart in 1968. Through original interviews, oral histories, FBI files, and previously untapped contemporaneous accounts, Margolick offers a revealing portrait of these two men and the mutual assistance, awkwardness, antagonism, and admiration that existed between them. MLK and RFK cut distinct but converging paths toward lasting change. Even when they weren’t interacting directly, they monitored and learned from one another. Their joint story, a story each man took pains to hide during their lives, is not just gripping history but a window into the challenges we continue to face in America. Complemented by award-winning historian Douglas Brinkley’s foreword and more than eighty revealing photos by the foremost photojournalists of the period, The Promise and the Dream offers a compelling look at one of the most consequential but misunderstood relationships in our nation’s history.

Download or read book Promises to Keep written by Chester Bowles and published by New York : Harper & Row. This book was released on 1971 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chester Bowles' public career spans twenty-nine years in an exceptionally wide range of activities. He has served six presidents, held state and federal offices, in wartime and in peace, at home and abroad. He has long been one of America's outstanding liberal spokesmen. Professor Henry Steele Commanger has cited Mr. Bowles as the best example of a "new kind of public servant," a man "who considers himself not exclusively the spokesman of a particular interest, or economy, or political system, but of the interests of man." Yet Promises to Keep is more than the record of one man's public career. It is also the story of the currents of change and of the opposition to change that have characterized America since Pearl Harbor. Mr. Bowles' readiness to challenge deeply rooted special interests, to advocate unpopular positions, and to speak out for what he believes in has brought him into frequent conflict with some fo the highest officials in our government. His memoirs tell the story of these conflicts in full. As OPA Administrator during World War II, Mr. Bowles and the remarkable organization which he created successfully "held the line" against inflation, battling lobbyists, other government officials and members of Congress in the process. Later, as Governor of Connecticut, he introduced far-reaching legislation to reorganize the archaic state government and to bring it closer to the people. Although many of his "radical" proposals were blocked during his term of office, most of them were subsequently enacted into law. As President Kennedy's Under Secretary of State, Mr. Bowles was largely responsible for bringing into diplomatic service a "new breed" of ambassador. But his efforts to introduce fresh thinking in the tradition-bound State Department ran into heavy weather. Mr. Bowles was the key figure in the New Frontier's first major reshuffling of high-level officials. As Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. worte in A Thousand Days, "Bowles [was] the hapless victim of the conditions which he diagnosed better than anyone else." He has also been one of the very few men who from the beginning sensed the danger of our growing involvement in Indochina and offered alternative policies. Keenly aware of the attitudes and aspirations of the people of Asia, he here expresses views sharply critical of U.S. foreign policy and charges that America has failed to understand and act on the forces shaping the non-Western world. These memoirs, written with characteristic personal warmth, evoke three decades of crucial importance. Yet, as Mr. Bowles writes, "the cycle of success and failure which I shall describe should be considered not as nostalgia for old battles won or lost, but as the first skirmishes of the struggle which lies ahead."
Download or read book The Promise of Public Service written by Michael M. Stahl and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, new government employees begin their careers by pledging their allegiance to the Constitution and by committing to conscientious service dedicated to solving public problems. But what do public servants get in return? For many, a chance to serve provides public servants with a higher purpose as well as professional and personal meaning in their lives and careers. In The Promise of Public Service: Ideas and Examples for Effective Service, Michael M. Stahl, a 40-year veteran in the executive and legislative branches of state and federal service, demonstrates what makes public servants effective by offering useful ideas and examining the accomplishments of public servants throughout American history. The book blends theory with practice, exploring the role that attitudes and philosophy play throughout one’s career, offering practical implementation advice, and demonstrating how one can measure success. Undergraduate- and graduate-level courses will benefit from The Promise of Public Service as a resource, and practitioners of public service in all its forms will benefit from these ideas and examples at any stage of their careers.

Book excerpt: For most of his life, Robert Kennedy stood in the shadow cast by his older brother, John; only after President Kennedy's assassination did the public gain a complete sense of Robert ("Bobby," we called him) as a committed advocate for social justice and a savvy politician in his own right.
