Robert F. Kennedy

Robert F. Kennedy was said to be the gentlest and shyest of the family. As a young man, his grandmother, Josie Fitzgerald, stressed that he would turn into a “sissy”. As per a family friend Lem Billings, Kennedy was barely “noticed” in the early days. John F. Kennedy and Tom Mboya arranged The Kennedy Airlifts in 1959 and 1960 that saw hundreds of East Africans get scholarships to study in the United States, one of the more famous being Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai. Robert Kennedy continued this close family connection with Tom Mboya.
Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, almost five years after his brother, while campaigning to become President of the United States. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting wildlife, beauty, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
