Biography

Robert Francis Kennedy was een Amerikaans jurist en presidentskandidaat. Hij was een zoon van Rose Fitzgerald en Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. en een broer van de Amerikaanse president John F. Kennedy. JFK koos hem als de Attorney General (Minister van Justitie) in zijn kabinet. Hij werkte nauw samen met zijn broer tijdens de invasie van de Varkensbaai en de Cuba-crisis. Robert Kennedy bleek een loyaal politicus in verscheidene van zijn broer's campagnes. In 1968 was hij zelf presidentskandidaat in de verkiezingen. Hij had net de voorverkiezing in Californië gewonnen toen hij kort na middernacht op 5 juni werd neergeschoten. Als dader werd Sirhan Sirhan gearresteerd. Robert Kennedy overleed de volgende dag in het ziekenhuis. Net als bij de moord op zijn broer in 1963 zijn er ook over deze aanslag veel vragen. Er circuleren verschillende theorieën over het hoe en waarom van deze gebeurtenis. In 1998 werd een speciale dollarmunt uitgegeven met Robert Kennedy op de ene kant, en emblemen van het Departement van Justitie en de Senaat op de andere.
