In this documentary portrait, RFK is shown greeting supporters from the back of a caboose. My camera was placed directly behind the supporters looking head on to capture the official festivities. This was one of the last Whistle Stop Tours ever made in American Presidential Campaigns. During the tour through departing in Portland the train made its way through Oregon City, Harrisburg, Junction City, Corvallis, Albany and Eugene. Robert made several speeches and spoke out strongly about ending the Vietnam War. Following in the footsteps of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, he renounced the unworkable dogmas that held both Russia and the U.S. in seemingly intractable positions. Robert embraced peaceful coexistence in an era of militarism and like his brother was receptive to a standing down from armed rivalry with Russia. As visionaries the Kennedys stood for ideals that could not only lead to peaceful coexistence but transcend the antagonisms generated by opposing social systems.
