Perspective.

About a year before he was shot and killed, U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy traveled to the Mississippi Delta to confront the face of hunger. During that trip, he saw children so malnourished that most would have thought such a thing was not possible in the United States. In the first of a two-part series on Robert Kennedy, we begin a journey through some of the changes he went through…from counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy to fiery liberal presidential candidate. Guest: Ellen Meacham, an author, longtime journalist and journalism instructor at the University of Mississippi.
