Excerpt from an April 2010 talk by University of Wisconsin-Parkside historian Edward R. Schmitt before Adventures in Lifelong Learning in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Schmitt discusses his new book on Robert Kennedy and the issue of poverty in the 1960s. For more on the book see http://www.edwardrschmitt.net , http://www.facebook.com/pages/President-of-the-Other-America/370000030553 and the University of Massachusetts Press site, http://www.umass.edu/umpress/fall_09/schmitt.htm
I appreciate and follow your discussions regarding RFK. As a sociology graduate from UW-madison, and a MSW from NM state University, I continue to work in the impoverished areas of WV and Virginia. RFK remains a hero of mine
