Just look at all those people. These are the good people. These are the everyday people who never bought into the divisive shit of Goldwater. They understood and valued equality and justice for all despite the paranoid GOP raving about black-communism and busing and affirmative action. They knew it was urban blacks and rural whites being sent together to die in Vietnam.
These were the good people: liberals, when "liberal" was not a faux-news term to spin as if it were par with "child-molester".
How far are we from Robert Kennedy? Just one step, one vision, one hope, one dream. We underestimate the character within ourselves to look beyond our own misgivings and contribute something of the same nature Robert Kennedy did. Nothing is impossible and perhaps today, tomorrow, or in the future the heart and ideal of Robert Kennedy will be in you or others. God Bless America
I like how the video segues in a flashback to his campaign and the joy that he brought to people.
By the way, everyone who likes this video should read journalist Theodore H. White's postmortem at the end of his chapter on Robert Kennedy (Chapter 6) in "The Making of the President, 1968", pages 183-187 in the original edition. You won't be disappointed.
Do you Ron Paul kool aiders have to shill for Ron Paul in every fucking video on youtube? Comparing Ron Paul to RFK? In the funeral train video? Seriously, have a little respect, douchebag.
It is not shilling when you have a deep personal affinity for the Kennedy Brothers and what they died attempting. They are personal hero's of mine and I have read nearly 20+ books on their political lives. We are about to pass a bill that permits U.S. Citizens to be imprisoned without due process. We are engaged in multiple non declared wars while men like Robert & JFK courageously stood up to a military machine that was endlessly moving them into the next war. So yeah..Respect I have
@JohnnyMac2237 Obama has signed the bill and it is now law AFTER threatening to veto it and running for President in 08 saying he would close Gitmo. He is a fraud.
the civil rights movement of the sixties moved all over the world the emotional poverty of injustices lives lost. A message though that still stands.....
Rfk has always been my hero and not even the passage of time diminishes that heart felt sentiment. It is 10/27/11 and his ideals live in me still. He was,a true human being. He is,missed even now. He appealed to the better angels in men and he was the conscience of the nation and for those who suffer. I am consoled that he is with the angels and a better place. May he always be blessed and his life and memory lives on and is venerated until i die. Long live Bobby Kennedy.
He carried such a great burden. After his brother died he became surrogate father to John Jr and Caroline. The death of his brother haunted him and he felt in some ways repsonsible because of all the Cuba fiasco. There is no doubt whatsoever he would have won the election.
We grew up a block away from the Ambassador Hotel newly arrived immigrants from Ecuador and through I was only 6 years old I remember my mom crying like a baby saying "porque, porque"....yes there was a time when people cared about there leaders.
this really is a sad video. thank you for the music that enhances the impact of a great loss. Just a wish, don't know when it will be fulfilled, that even though there will never be another RFK, that we at least get someone like RFK; honest, just, peaceful, visionary, wise, committed, pro-people and brave.
I actually got to see him in person when he was campaigning for JFK. I mostly remember his smile, very sincere. They were both people persons, they just loved the people. They always went out of their way to meet and greet everyone at great peril to themselves. It wasn't the people that they needed to fear, but the people in their very own government that sought to destroy them.
Just Watch those Black and White Children of America run behind the train and understand that America has no color aside from the Red White and Blue which does not represent anything but liberty of the individual. Do not let them separate us by Class, Race or Party..Vote for the heroes of the constitution who died along with our veterans to make sure Freedom is not a new idea aged only 200. Tyranny is an old idea and it comes in the form of big govt. Ron Paul I will vote for you.

We are all Americans..Please look to Ron Paul as our last hero of all this nation was founded upon and what these heroes JFK & RFK died to prevent which is endless war and money printing.
I was 5 years old and remember that day when FUNERAL TRAIN came by our house in Elizabeth NJ....I can still see all the people rushing to edge of tracks to get a closer look....does anybody know if it was a diesel engine train for the whole trip, because I thought it was an old-time steam locomotive that came by my home???
@voodoochef100 By 1968 steam was long gone and the Penn Central had no steam locomotives on roster. The locomotives pulling the train are electric GG1's and probably stayed with the train the whole way from New York City to Washington D.C. on the Northeast Corridor.
@NSHorseheadSD70I remember once that a steam locomotive, came by my house. It could be a seperate time than RFK funeral train. I was really young. I could be thinking they are same occassion cause the similarities of everyone running towards train tracks to get a better look. But a steam engine is something a person is not going to forget. The sight of it is truly amazing. Hope someone can confirm it.
@voodoochef100 The Pennsylvania Railroad used to change between steam and electric locomotives at South Amboy, New Jersey. But this was years before and never occurred while the Penn Central was operating.
@NSHorseheadSD70 I lived a block west of the old Elizabeth train station, along Westfield Ave train tracks. It wasnt part of the Northeast Corridor.It is longer used anymore. I wish I could find the exact route of RFK's train. I was able to find some people on facebook who were from Elizabeth. And they remember funeral train passing their homes along the NE corridor. I wonder if the 2 people that were killed in Elizabeth that day, forced train by my house???
I was there that day too. I remember seeing the remains of those people--it was bizarre. I've seen a lot of strange and frightening things in my lifetime, but I'll never forget what I saw that day. I saw 4, pinkish, basketball sized spheres laying on the inbeded railroad ties between the tracks. It was surreal.
@newralphended .....where did those people get hit exactly??? From a old photo it looks just south of the courthouse. Did they re-route the RFK train because of this or did they just continue on from that point after tracks were cleared????
Many thanks to all who have posted onthis video. Please make sure you send it on to others and spread the inspirational words of the Kennedy brothers to others. The Music by the way is Craig Armstrong (911 soundtrack). Dream things that never were and say why not - Thanks 9PS
Robert Kennedy was gone before my time by a decade, and now I am an adult, a parent and teacher, he's words inspire me as if he were alive today. So to me Robert never really died because as long as his words and actions still inspire generations to come, his spirit will always live on.
What is this music? It's so perfect for this video. And the last scene of Bobby walking along the beach almost seems like he's walking off to heaven. He is greatly missed.
Robert Kennedy really wanted what he said. He was not a pretender like most of today's politicians. He said it's important to do the things first that you're afraid of. That's how you can achieve something. Driven by the endless will to help his fellow citizens. That's what we need to do. Help.
The so called leaders of today.............not worthy to shine the shoes of this man or his brother who went before him. Not to mention MLK. They are what you mean when you talk about courage, just raw courage. Unafraid to stand or fall for what they believed in.
@TakeBackAmerica2012 Unfortunately, the three best leaders of a generation (JFK, MLK, RFK) fell victim to assassins' bullets in a span of under five years and we haven't seen their like again.
Bobby they took you from us, but they will never win as long as, in the words of your brother Ted's eulogy, we "see wrong and try to right it, see suffering and try to heal it, see war and try to stop it."
@deepfreezevideo Yes listen - to the words of this brave and visionary man. Most are as relevant now as they were then. Generation since and yet to come need only hear and think.
Very sad time for the USA and the world. Every free persons hopes and dreams were extinguished on that day in 68. Never again has a true leader been able to get even close to power. I am glad the words remain in 2011 because they mean even more now than they did back then . The elite have complete control now and a NWO is close at hand. Good luck to you all and RIP Bobby .
@ar81rome - It's hard to tell on this video. Ted Kennedy DID stand at the back waved as the train slowed down for the crowds. I was there to see it, in Arbutus, Maryland near Baltimore. A day I have never fogotten.
@ar81rome - It's hard to tell on this video. Ted Kennedy DID stand at the back and waved as the train slowed down for the crowds. I was there to see it, in Arbutus, Maryland near Baltimore. A day I have never forgotten.
i dont get why people are bad mouthing obama. He worked with Teddy to get health care in order. That aside Robert would have been one of the finest presidents next to his brother. overall the kennedy clan is neck to neck with the roosevelt clan as being the best families to serve in the history of are countries Politics.
These are the days America became divided by race and creed.
When they took away our right to elect our leaders and stuffed racism down our throats and blame and guilt. After killing these two true Americans they believed they could achieve anything. The Wall St money interests took our billions and sent our jobs elsewhere and divide us to keep themselves in power. They have placed the same puppets in Obama, Palin, Bush and Romney in power and are pulling out all stops to retain control.
RFK, more than any other, including JFK, represented a potential that never came to pass, a potential that was extinguished prematurely. RFK personified then and continues to personify today, and will.... for ages to come, humanity's hope and fragility. When we shed tears for RFK, even after all these many decades, as if the tragedy had just taken place, we shed tears for ourselves, for millions of peole around the world. For, above all else, we are a very frail and tragic species....
I grew up a on berendo st@wilshire blvd 2 blocks from the ambassador hotel was 6yrs old and still remember my mom who didnt speak and english totally balling...yes once upon a time people actually cared about politicians and loved america especially immigrants...rip bobby
The dream of a better america died with these two men. now it's just a bunch of fucked up liberals running a dying country. we need them back, more than ever.
At 15 years old, I volunteered at the RFK For President Headquarters every day after school and all weekends long from the time he declared his running up until the California primary. A few weeks before his assassination, he came to San Diego as part of an election motorcade. When he was leaving the airport, we were invited to see him off from a distance. I ran past the barriers to where he was walking to a small private plane. For 30 seconds there was just me and Bobby Kennedy holding my hand.
Whenever I watch this video I see all these people standing there as they watch their nation stolen from under their eyes by the elites and they are looking only for leader who will rout this den of vipers. Look to the Federal Reserve, Wall Street and the shadow CIA self elected elites as they usurp your right to vote with these assassinations. Sirhan and Oswald were Patsys.
Ever Since 1963 we have had puppet Presidents.Every one of them. Stop letting them divide you along political lines. Let us take back our freedoms and challenge the elites on Wall Street. Wall Street tried to use General Smedley Butler to usurp FDR and they own both parties and rely on us for their funding with illegal income tax and media propaganda as they ship our jobs overseas. Please..For the love of God vote for Ron Paul..He is us.
If our nation can come together over such tragedy of a family that possessed such wealth but wanted ensure your liberties that did not rely upon the stealing of your tax dollars how can they not come together in the hope of a politician who is beyond corruptibly? JFK was killed because he would not bend to Wall Street and the money interests and they knew he did not require their money to win elections. RFK was killed before he could become President because they could not chance it.
The Kennedy's were the Royalty of the U.S., rich, priveledged ... but despite whatever business-wrongs ... they were fearless and caring leaders. And like the world knew Lady Di cared. They sure knew the Kennedy's cared, right down to Ted trying to get his country universal health care like Canada's and other countries. A hard luck family that nevery gave-in, despite the deaths. They sought to man a post, and never left it when they got it.
What a beautiful video. It's horrible, because of the circumstances, but showing all of those people standing by a railroad track to simply pay respects to a good man who died far too early really does give me hope for this sorry species of ours.
I was there in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel. I was a "Kennedy Girl," a teenage campaigner. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about "what might have been" had Senator Kennedy lived. "Good night, sweet prince. May flights of angels bring thee to thy rest..."
He was a great man, I believe he was overshadowed by his brother, he was a good man, and a genuinely brave and honest man, and possibly the best leader America never had RIP bobby
Moving and tragic, because we see here, the soul of the real America. The innocence and goodness of a noble people, betrayed and sold out, and used by their own government. So much of that goodness is gone today, and the leaders must bear this responsibility.
Seeing Blacks and whites together behind Americans who did not wish to divide was unacceptable for the corporates. Never will you ever see our people the common middle class, the lower class and the idealists united behind any singular two people as they were RFK & JFK. And that is why they were killed by the elites..because they did not need the elite money to come to office.
Ever since then we have had division which is promoted on all mainstream news from MSNBC to FOX to CBS.
@jfkjacqueline I was 14 years old when RFK was assassinated. I was listening to the radio broadcast live from the Ambassador Hotel shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968 ... on my little transistor radio... through my pillow when RFK was shot. I still remember crying into my pillow. The future of the world pivoted at that moment & we fell backwards to the likes of Richard Nixon, Ronald Regan, & George Bush I & II. What a nightmare - We, the People have become slaves of Global Corporate Fascism.
Should have been LBJ in the box. Without JFK and RFK the States are a land of lies and the eagle doesn't fly straight. America needs justice,people need to know the truth. So it doesn't happen again like 911 or a 2012 seed vault for america's wealth...people need to think more and not live through the media. America's wealth or greed now donating half of wealth to charity,2 years after the doomsday vault was built and 2 years before 2012? That's crazy....think about it!

I was 13 years old living in England sitting on the back door step after school waiting for my mum to come home from work. I heard the sad news on my brother's "tranny"....transistor radio. I was very sad, even though I could not fully understand the implications at the time I knew it was a tragedy for the world.Americans! remember Bobby and take your country back...Please
If I was an American citicen I would concider Robert F. K. as a President of USA. I am sure he had recived most votes in the election. No bullet has the right to change that. And Sirhan Sirhan, you are just nothing.
RIP BOBBY, one day someone like you and your brother, Mahatma, Martin, Malcom, Yitzak and Lady Di, Abraham Lincoln and Jesus may they all rest in PEACE. Will come again and fight the Evil of the World with succes. And we the simpel human will stand with you.
Excellent video, great editing job, one of the best I've seen on You Tube! The footage is unique. That's R.F.K's son looking out the window of the funeral car, he died later on of a drug overdose, truly a tragic story all around.
So Powerfull. I think they killed the new messiah. He was here for everybody. It's very strange that all the good and peace loving guys get killed. Martin, Malcolm, JFK. RFK, Yitzak, Mahatma, Jesus.etc. It's also no coincidience that they got killed by JEWS( Kabbala Worshippers) because they"re "god" has ordered them to kill every messiah from GOD. The David star is infact a Devils Hexagram ( Devils Schild) aka Family Roth-Schild
If only someone had told the american people that the last real american leader who worked and died for his people and his country was in that train, there would probably be millions more by those tracks.
I am sorry that since I am a baby boomer, no generation since has had an actual hero. A living breathing man that you could get behind, who had an almost mythic vision for what this country could be. Yes, he had his flaws but , my God, he worked to develop a deep and profound sense of humanity. And he tried.
@rictorn JFK was nothing special?! Why don't you read some history before making an ignorant statement like that. John Kennedy saved this country during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The military wanted to launch nukes, if they had succeeded, and the USSR responded, millions of Americans would have died. President Kennedy faced down those fools. He saved us all. He also had the guts to enforce desegregation, and he was already laying out plans to withdrawn from Vietnam when he was assassintaed.
@XMedoraX hello, try not to be rude its unhelpful, sorry if it was provocative, i am certainly interested in your perspective, i thought it was bobby who peersuaded jfk not to start a nuclear war? thats one of the reasons i said what i said, when you say this country do you mean the usa? not sure weather that is such a good thing, (sorry there i go being provocative again, just 1/2 joking)
Gracias RFK por inspirarme y darme esperanza para creer que mi mundo es mejor; gracias por transmitir los valores de la familia, la sociedad justa y un lugar mas bello para vivir.
Beautiful tribute for a great man. So many hopes died with you, RFK. You were the last, best hope for America. 2:07 - 2:11 is so powerful! Thanks, Bobby, for all the inspiration you continue to fill me with!
I think he was good man. It's hard to believe that's the people who has beautiful vision of world are dead. They could change the world. Why God takes their from us? We form the future. We cannot fail that.
I am remember both Bobby and Teddy today due to passage of the health care bill. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that "The Dream is Still Alive."
only symbolic, yet very powerful is how all these people stood beside the rails, paying their respect by waving flags and saluting Bobby. God really takes his favourite children away early, doesn't he?
You guys say that hope is lost and RIP Bobby but yet you arent listening to the ideal that he died for the idea that we have to keep alive even in his death. Hope is not lost unless we let it and that one man can inspire change but only the people he inspires can make that change. RFK is my hero and JFK is a close second. They inspired not just America but the world to do great things and only we can make that change. In honor of all those who died for freedom and equailty...Rest in Peace Bobby.
We have no choice now, our survival as a nation depends on it. We have to expose the criminal element that has been running our country for too long. Just like JFK said, " Unless the Lord Keepeth the City, the Watchman Waketh but in Vain."
@jackisbored12347 - I don't thing that the ideas and optimism that RFK believed in are no longer with us. Rather I see it as it's the world which has grown too cynical to hold such ideas...to trust in them...too set in its ways to change...and it's only growing worse with the passing of time. We have never been so divided as a country...it makes one wonder where things will end up. RFK died just before I was born. Who knows that he might have achieved. The world is surely poorer with his loss.
There is a reason on the video why its not a direct word for word quote, it was for my schools assembly and it was me saying it to the young audience, but being politically correct I changed men to people. Looking back I should have left it!
No family has paid the price for their courage and compassion more than the Kennedys. When they murdered JFK and RFK they destroyed any hope of this ever being a peaceful country. It's been going downhill ever since. I think republicans resent the Kennedys because when they see such love, kindness and selflessness, they're forced to look inside themselves. They have to see the hatred, ugliness and greed festering inside them. JFK and RFK - their hearts, their spirits, made them beautiful.
and with him went humanities last bit of hope

I wish I could find the exact route of RFK's train. I was able to find some people on facebook who were from Elizabeth. And they remember funeral train passing their homes along the NE corridor. I wonder if the 2 people that were killed in Elizabeth that day, forced train by my house???

I was there that day too. I remember seeing the remains of those people--it was bizarre. I've seen a lot of strange and frightening things in my lifetime, but I'll never forget what I saw that day. I saw 4, pinkish, basketball sized spheres laying on the inbeded railroad ties between the tracks. It was surreal.

@newralphended .....where did those people get hit exactly??? From a old photo it looks just south of the courthouse. Did they re-route the RFK train because of this or did they just continue on from that point after tracks were cleared????

Robert Kennedy was gone before my time by a decade, and now I am an adult, a parent and teacher, he's words inspire me as if he were alive today. So to me Robert never really died because as long as his words and actions still inspire generations to come, his spirit will always live on.

Robert Kennedy really wanted what he said. He was not a pretender like most of today's politicians. He said it's important to do the things first that you're afraid of. That's how you can achieve something. Driven by the endless will to help his fellow citizens. That's what we need to do. Help.

The so called leaders of today.............not worthy to shine the shoes of this man or his brother who went before him. Not to mention MLK. They are what you mean when you talk about courage, just raw courage. Unafraid to stand or fall for what they believed in.

These are the days America became divided by race and creed.
When they took away our right to elect our leaders and stuffed racism down our throats and blame and guilt. After killing these two true Americans they believed they could achieve anything. The Wall St money interests took our billions and sent our jobs elsewhere and divide us to keep themselves in power. They have placed the same puppets in Obama, Palin, Bush and Romney in power and are pulling out all stops to retain control.

RFK, more than any other, including JFK, represented a potential that never came to pass, a potential that was extinguished prematurely. RFK personified then and continues to personify today, and will.... for ages to come, humanity's hope and fragility. When we shed tears for RFK, even after all these many decades, as if the tragedy had just taken place, we shed tears for ourselves, for millions of peole around the world. For, above all else, we are a very frail and tragic species....

At 15 years old, I volunteered at the RFK For President Headquarters every day after school and all weekends long from the time he declared his running up until the California primary. A few weeks before his assassination, he came to San Diego as part of an election motorcade. When he was leaving the airport, we were invited to see him off from a distance. I ran past the barriers to where he was walking to a small private plane. For 30 seconds there was just me and Bobby Kennedy holding my hand.

If our nation can come together over such tragedy of a family that possessed such wealth but wanted ensure your liberties that did not rely upon the stealing of your tax dollars how can they not come together in the hope of a politician who is beyond corruptibly? JFK was killed because he would not bend to Wall Street and the money interests and they knew he did not require their money to win elections. RFK was killed before he could become President because they could not chance it.

Seeing Blacks and whites together behind Americans who did not wish to divide was unacceptable for the corporates. Never will you ever see our people the common middle class, the lower class and the idealists united behind any singular two people as they were RFK & JFK. And that is why they were killed by the elites..because they did not need the elite money to come to office.
Ever since then we have had division which is promoted on all mainstream news from MSNBC to FOX to CBS.

He also had the guts to enforce desegregation, and he was already laying out plans to withdrawn from Vietnam when he was assassintaed.

They inspired not just America but the world to do great things and only we can make that change. In honor of all those who died for freedom and equailty...Rest in Peace Bobby.

@jackisbored12347 - I don't thing that the ideas and optimism that RFK believed in are no longer with us. Rather I see it as it's the world which has grown too cynical to hold such ideas...to trust in them...too set in its ways to change...and it's only growing worse with the passing of time. We have never been so divided as a country...it makes one wonder where things will end up. RFK died just before I was born. Who knows that he might have achieved. The world is surely poorer with his loss.

No family has paid the price for their courage and compassion more than the Kennedys. When they murdered JFK and RFK they destroyed any hope of this ever being a peaceful country. It's been going downhill ever since. I think republicans resent the Kennedys because when they see such love, kindness and selflessness, they're forced to look inside themselves. They have to see the hatred, ugliness and greed festering inside them. JFK and RFK - their hearts, their spirits, made them beautiful.
