NYC > Brooklyn
Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation
In 1966, Robert Kennedy, then the junior senator from New York, turned his attention to the country’s racial frictions and the rupture of urban life, marked by rioting and despair.
One freezing day in February, he went to Brooklyn to visit Bedford-Stuyvesant, where schools were falling apart, heroin was everywhere and fathers were not.
Community leaders met him with hostility; they were tired of the political gaze, an interest in Bed-Stuy that seemed anthropological rather than practical or solution-oriented.
Kennedy was annoyed — telling aides later that he could have just as easily spent his time “smoking a cigar in Palm Beach.”
Still, he was deeply affected.
The result was the creation of the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, the first community-development organization in the country, one that pioneered public-private municipal partnerships, becoming a national model for hundreds of similar programs.
During its first 10 years, Restoration (as it is universally known) spent $63 million in government, philanthropic and corporate funds to place thousands of local residents in jobs or training programs, build and rehabilitate housing, offer mortgages.
It brought art and cultural programming to the area; it opened the Billie Holiday Theater and the first supermarket in a neighborhood with hundreds of thousands of people; and in 1968, it persuaded IBM to develop a computer cable plant that employed thousands of nearby residents.

Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy 1925 - June 6, 1968
As U.S. attorney general from 1961 to 1964, Robert F. Kennedy served as one of the most trusted advisors to his brother, President John F. Kennedy, on matters of civil rights.
Although Martin Luther King boldly criticized the attorney general and the Department of Justice for its failure to investigate civil rights violations, he wrote Kennedy in 1964 praising him for his efforts to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
“Your able, courageous and effective work in guiding the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through both Houses of Congress has earned for you an even warmer spot in the hearts of freedom loving people the world over.
I add to theirs my sincere and heartfelt thanks” (King, 24 June 1964).
