SUMMARY:SB: Delta Epiphany: RFK in the Mississippi Delta
DESCRIPTION:In 1967\, while visiting Mississippi as part of the Senate subcommittee on poverty\, Robert Kennedy cradled hungry children\, talked with mothers about how they fed their families and examined empty refrigerators. Although he was only in the Delta for a day\, Kennedy\, the people he encountered\, Mississippi and the nation felt the impact of that journey for much longer. What he found in the Delta both shocked and motivated Kennedy to work for significant changes in the nation’s food aid policy. It was a crucial step toward his decision to run for the presidency a year later. \nDrawing upon archival research and interviews\, Meacham’s presentation outlines Kennedy’s journey through Mississippi and what he saw and heard\, concluding with how Kennedy’s visit affected food aid policy\, what has changed there and what has not changed since his visit.
