What It Means To Be An American, Have You Forgotten? With Robert F. Kennedy Speech at the end

What It Means To Be An American, Have You Forgotten? With Robert F. Kennedy Speech at the end.

The footage is old, the concepts are older, but they've never been more applicable than they are today.

Never forget what it is that makes America great especially as our cultural dialogue focuses and polarizes around race, religion and cultural identity.

SB 1070? 9/11 Mosques? Is Obama a Muslim? Socialism? Muslim?

Footage dates back to a 1947 documentary entitled Don't Be A Sucker produced by the US Government. I've added the comment at the end and shot the color footage.

Remember, your duty to your country is constant. It's a fundamental duty to fight for equality - both for yourself and your fellow human.

Stand up for what is right. Stand up for America!

I edited the ending, because I felt that we should also reminds ourselves who were the ones that kept on fighting for our civil rights, and those who died for our rights.

The ending was Robert F. Kennedy Announcing the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Indiana 1968. R.I.P. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & Robert F. Kennedy we will never forget both of your sacrifices and dedication for this great nation.

"My favorite poem, my -- my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God.

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black."

— Robert F. Kennedy
