At the FPA’s Global Engagement Blog James Ketterer has a great post on Robert Kennedy’s June 1966 trip to South Africa.
I once used Kennedy’s speech as a framing device for a journal article on teaching a course on race relations in the United States and South Africa. (The piece was republished here.) I agree with Ketterer that Kennedy’s speech is telling and profound and inspiring and smart. It makes for a great entry-point to US-South African relations, but also to looking at the two countries within a comparative framework.
