I was so excited to have my good friend Kerry Kennedy to talk about human rights activism and how her family has historically been a part of promoting positive social change.
Kerry comes from a family that shows deep love for others through activism. She shares how this was passed down from her parents, Robert and Ethel Kennedy, and how that helped shape her life.
Kerry is the president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. Since 1981, she has worked on diverse human rights issues including child labor, disappearances, indigenous land rights, judicial independence, freedom of expression, ethnic violence, impunity, women's rights, and the environment. Kerry is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Being Catholic Now, Robert F. Kennedy: Ripples of Hope, and Speak Truth to Power: Human Rights Defenders Who Are Changing Our World. Kerry founded RFK Compass, which convenes biannual meetings of institutional investors who collectively control $5 to $7 trillion in assets to address the impact of human rights violations on investment outcomes. She serves on the boards of the U.S. Institute of Peace, Human Rights First, Ethics in Action, SDG USA, Sustainable Development Goals Center for Africa, Health eVillages, Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation, Nizami Ganjavi International Center as well as several public companies.
Meanwhile the banksters and the FED steal 10 trillion dollars to bail out their Wall Street buddies. The man was murdered for a 20$ false check.
I remember giving Kerry a ticket from LGA to BOS on the Eastern Shuttle back in the late 80s.
I was a little girl when it happened, and I remember praying and crying that a great man had just been murdered.
Why is it that the good are assassinated. I despair at your countries leadership now. Bring back Obama.
people need to understand what is going on in the world before we are able to make any corrections….as an example… you can’t fix eczyema without understanding the nature of the disease…
something missing in our world… *thinking* … and i believe it has to do with the *lack* of segregation…. if you can correlate the two…
*man is not the same.* .. time and life’s experiences are different for different men… human beings are all not the same so we cannot give all the same consideration… things are different with different people… is so many ways… evolution takes *time* …
everything we do in life is written into us in one fashion or another… *that is something we need to understand* … *how long does it take to make a human?* …
*does man understand himself?* I DON”T THINK SO… and so… why are me making the error of thinking we understand?… particularly when we have this element of *satan* hanging over our heads…
people give themselves to something thinking it’s a worthy cause… take cancer for instance… give money to these charities and what do you get… more *cancer* …
dogma in our world needs to be challenged… just see how hard it is for people to change their minds about something they’ve defended and given themselves to…
Beautiful! Thank You!!
*man will not understand himself until he can answer the past* … SO LET”S STOP BEING STUPID AND MAKING STUPID ASSUMPTIONS….
MLK, Jr. may not be here physically, but his memory and his words will ALWAYS be with us. “WE ARE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN!” That will NEVER change! When we start treating every single person as a precious gift from God, things will change for the better.
