President Clinton speaks at a memorial mass for Robert F. Kennedy on the 25th anniversary of his assassination. Clinton remembers him, standing on the hood of a car, grasping at outreached hands, black and brown and white. His promise was that the hands that reached out to him might someday reach out to each other. And together, those hands could make America everything that it ought to be. The President urges Americans to focus on the powerful, simple message of Robert Kennedy: We can do better.
