40th Anniversary Of Death Of Senator Robert Kennedy

EDM number 1351 in 2007-08, proposed by Simon Burns on 21/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Death and North America.

That this House notes with sadness the 40th anniversary of the death of Senator Robert Kennedy, assassinated in Los Angeles on 5th/6th June 1968 following his victory in the California and South Dakota primary elections; agrees with his brother, Senator Edward Kennedy, that he should be remembered `simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it'; applauds his life because he gave his strength for those who were weak, gave his voice for those who had no special interest to speak for them and always remembered those who were forgotten; and believes that the tragedy of his death is best summed up by his friend the composer John Stewart who said `when a chill wind takes the sky, we should remember the years he gave us hope, for they can never die'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 232 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
