Robert F. Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today. In this vintage documentary arts portrait, I captured Bobby Kennedy prior to the 1968 Presidential Campaign. Kennedy visited Portland, Oregon and spoke at the Labor Temple in the Fall of 1966. The Senator is shown minutes before he would speak at an election rally on behalf of U.S. Representative Edith Green. This is one of my first portraits of Kennedy taken with a Nikon F film camera, loaded with Kodak Tri-X and equipped with a 105mm Nikkor tele lens.

This archival giclee print offers an exquisite range of tone and brilliancy faithfully capturing this important historical figure in American politics. The B&W negative from which this print is made is in pristine condition with little if any deterioration. Makes a strong impression with excellent scale ar this larger size. Suitable for immediate safe viewing and ready for framing.

Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today. In this documentary portrait, taken at Portland State College, RFK addressed the relevance of the "Spirit of Youth" mindful of the "Revolutionary Spirit" that led to the foundation of the United States. He spoke of "a temper of the will" when dealing with our adversaries. Robert argued for ending the War in Vietnam, citing that the North Vietnamese leader, Ho Chi Minh, had quoted the American Declaration of Independence as their inspiration for them to declare independence from the French. 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.

RFK Speech Excerpt:

“What the students of Poland now fight for, what the students of Czechoslovakia appear to have won is not a victory of ideology; it is a victory of the spirit. This spirit has been heard in the defined courtrooms of Moscow, in the streets of Spain, and in the schools all over the United States. It is he spirit of youth. It's not a time of life, but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a preference for courage over timidity; of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. It is the spirit which knows the difference between force and reason. It does not accept the failures of today as the excuse for the cruelties of tomorrow. It knows the wisdom of Archimedes and that says, 'Give me a place to stand and I can move the world,' and youth is finding a place to stand. That is the spirit I want to see return to the United States of America and that is why I'm running for President of the United States.” RFK- April 17, 1968

Here is a striking1968 Portrait of Robert Kennedy as he was about to enter into the Oregon Primary U.S. Presidential race. This unusual pose (with the hands suggesting the image of a gun) is from a speech in which RFK addressed the Viet Nam War, a subject which was to become a heated and turbulent campaign issue in Oregon where he ran and lost to Democratic Senator Eugene McCarthy. The documentary arts image was captured with a motorized Nikon F film camera equipped with a 300mm telephoto lens.

Speech Excerpt:

“What the students of Poland now fight for, what the students of Czechoslovakia appear to have won is not a victory of ideology; it is a victory of the spirit. This spirit has been heard in the defined courtrooms of Moscow, in the streets of Spain, and in the schools all over the United States. It is he spirit of youth. It's not a time of life, but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a preference for courage over timidity; of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. It is the spirit which knows the difference between force and reason. It does not accept the failures of today as the excuse for the cruelties of tomorrow. It knows the wisdom of Archimedes and that says, 'Give me a place to stand and I can move the world,' and youth is finding a place to stand. That is the spirit I want to see return to the United States of America and that is why I'm running for President of the United States.” RFK- April 17, 1968

Kennedy fought for Civil Rights as Attorney General; his positive vision for the advancement of peace, justice, equality and responsibility is still relevant today.

In this documentary image, taken at Portland State College, RFK is introduced by President Branford P. Millar (1959-1968) before Robert made this historic speech.

RFK addressed the relevance of the "Spirit of Youth" mindful of the "Revolutionary Spirit" that led to the foundation of the United States. He spoke of "a temper of the will" when dealing with our adversaries. Robert argued for ending the War in Vietnam, citing that the North Vietnamese leader, Ho Chi Minh, had quoted the UAmerican Declaration of Independence as their inspiration for them to declare independence from the French. 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.
