Was RFK an idealist or an opportunist?

Younger Bobby Kennedy seems very focused on things like communism, McCarthy, organized crime etc., while the later RFK seems much more concerned with civil rights, poverty and disadvanteged people. Was this a genuine change in his beliefs, or do you think it was more of a calculated response to the changing political climate and what was becoming important to voters?

What a way to totally dishonor the legacy President Kennedy!

The Trump board ruining an iconic building by placing a felons name on the Kennedy Center. They should be ashamed and be held accountable for this moronic action.

A Poem Written by 14-Year-Old JFK Jr.

In 1974, while attending the Collegiate School in Manhattan, 14-year-old JFK Jr. penned a satirical poem about America 🇺🇸:

Oh lovely land of racial lies
of crooked ways to fame
From Kent State to Sharon Tate
we're proud to bear thy name

America, America
God spared His grace on thee
From atoms to nuclear arms
be proud of U.S.A.

II

And though you're bad
we love you much
You taught us right and wrong
just look at Vietnam, the trouble we caused

America, America
God looks at us from high
to guide us by our forefathers' cry
just like Jerry Ford

This handwritten piece was part of a 2016 RR Auction which included several essays and general schoolwork, originally from his eighth-grade year, preserved by his English teacher, Blake Leach.
