April 4, 1968 | Dr. King used to say you have to be maladjusted to the problems, to the issues that you see around us. Robert Kennedy was maladjusted. Martin Luther King, Jr. was maladjusted. They had the ability to get in the way. Today we’re too quiet, we’re too silent. We need to find a way to push and pull, and disturb the sense of false peace, and the sense of false order that we have in our society today. I was there standing nearby when Robert Kennedy spoke those words. They were powerful then, and they’re still powerful today. No one had been able to capture the essence of what was happening in America like him. What he said was very much in keeping with the very philosophy and the discipline and nonviolence that was preached and taught by Martin Luther King, Jr. No one in America today is speaking the way Robert Kennedy spoke then. – Rep. John Lewis

I looked at the Moon tonight.
I looked at the Moon and its surface through my telescope. She has never escaped so amusingly from sight.
I swear I never felt the way it did yesterday. I was not alone. I was with Neil.
Well. I won't use watercolors, and I didn't want to use them. I don't have an art education, so... Yeah I know I have mistakes. I tried my best, with all my love, but damn... Bobby! You deserve better.
Collins family and of course, sweet little Mike.
