Hidden II

"There are millions of Americans living in hidden places, whose faces and names we never know.  But I have seen children starving in Mississippi, idling their lives away in the ghetto, living without hope or future amid the despair on Indian reservations, with no jobs and little hope.  I have seen proud men in the hills of Appalachia, who wish only to work in dignity--but the mines are closed, and the jobs are gone, and no one, neither industry or labor or government, has cared enough to help.  Those conditions will change, those children will live, only if we dissent.  So I dissent..."

--Robert F. Kennedy
Vanderbilt University, March 21, 1968
