Text is as follows:\r\n\r\n\"Like my late husband, Robert Francis Kennedy died fighting for the ideals of American democracy. Because he envisioned the solidarity, dignity, peaceful coexistence, and higher possibilities of the human family here on earth, he might have been called 'a new man in an old world.' Ahead of his time in his attitude towards the problems of youth, race, the city and war, Mr. Kennedy himself once quoted the words of Abraham Lincoln as our best guide: 'As our case is new, so must we think anew and act anew.'\r\n\r\nMr. Kennedy wrote in his book To Seek a Newer World, '...the sharpest criticism often goes hand in hand with the deepest idealism and love of country.' He was a strange man to many people -- strange because he was a product of affluence. By all logic, he might have had a different set of values. But Robert Kennedy was a true patriot because his allegiance was to a higher law: 'Peace on earth, good will towards men.'\r\n\r\nAn idealist and a dissenter, Robert Kennedy's thinking about the human condition was as dated as that of Socrates, Jesus, St. Paul and Sir Thomas More; it is comforting to remember that the teachings and principles of the greatest dissenters of all times have made them immortal.\r\n\r\nBecause Robert Francis Kennedy lived and labored for the fulfillment of the American Dream -- freedom and justice for all -- I believe that his name will live forever in the annals of American History.\r\n\r\n-- Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr.\"\r\n\r\nThese images are not available online larger than a thumbnail to protect the copyright of their creator(s).
