"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

Dr. Larry Shore of Hunter College, New York, sent me a note with a link to a site he has built, Ripple of Hope in the Land of Apartheid, detailing Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's 1966 visit to South Africa. It was on that trip that Kennedy made his "Ripple of Hope" speech from which my site draws its name. (Click here to hear the complete speech.) It's well worth your time, and few people express the promise of America more eloquently than RFK.
