Robert Kennedy's visit to Mississippi in April 1967 had a profound impact on his vision for America. A few months later, in August 1967, Kennedy asked activist and civil rights lawyer Marian Wright Edelman to encourage Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "to bring the poor people to Washington to make hunger and poverty visible since the country's attention had turned to the Vietnam War and put poverty and hunger on the back burner." According to Edelman, King responded enthusiastically and began planning what became the 1968 Poor People's Campaign. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
