Ear­lier this week I lis­tened to and read Ted Kennedy’s eulogy for his brother, Robert Kennedy. I had never heard this speech before and it is a fan­tas­tic ora­tion worth lis­ten­ing to in full. However…

  • I would advise lis­ten­ing to the speech on the embed­ded video while read­ing along so that you can hear the emo­tion in Ted Kennedy’s voice—fantastic!
  • Don’t just lis­ten to the speech using the embed­ded video as the over­laid music is hor­ren­dous and occa­sion­ally distracting.
  • The record­ing of the speech is 9:45 in length, seven min­utes of which is an excerpt from Robert Kennedy’s own Day of Affir­ma­tion Address to the stu­dents of the Uni­ver­sity of Capetown, South Africa (June 6, 1966).
