He’s right, we need as many hope peddlers as we can find. The more the merrier.
“Juan was convinced he was supposed to find a way to express the hope Kennedy represented for him, but he couldn’t find the words.
During the debate over California’s Proposition 187, he felt that people were taking one look at his brown skin and figuring him for a freeloader. He wanted to scream that the ballot initiative was proof we needed another Kennedy, but he couldn’t find a stage.
And that was just fine, because to remember that day in 1968, Juan ended up doing something more elegant and true. He took the faith expressed in that first handshake from Kennedy and honored the memory by working hard, providing for his family and living a life of tolerance and good deeds.”

I just saw the movie “Bobby” and was deeply touched. It made me search on Wikipedia to find out more about what happened that day with Bobby Kennedy. The portrayal of the busboy was very touching. It’s good to know what happened to the busboy after all these years.
