Allard Lowenstein on Robert F. Kennedy
This 1975 discussion features anti-war and civil rights activist, former Congressman, Allard Lowenstein. Lowenstein began an awakening after appearing on Nixon’s enemies list. He thought back to earlier tampering in his Congressional races and other activities by the FBI and began to suspect what he initially refused to even consider; ie the government may have been involved in the assassination and/or cover-up of RFK. His attempts to reopen the case were blocked at every turn by the LAPD and California officials.
