Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy 1925-1968
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).
