In 1960s
America it seemed like some people really didn't want anyone called
Kennedy to be
President, and after
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, his younger brother,
Robert F. Kennedy, was killed by gunman
Sirhan Sirhan after winning the
California Democratic primary on June 6, 1968.
A new four-part series on
Netflix explores
Bobby Kennedy's work from 1961 to 1968, serving as
U.S. Attorney General under
JFK and as a
U.S. Senator from
New York, before the liberal progressive politician was murdered at the age of 42.
The new documentary series contains draws from hours of archival footage from local and national news outlets from his campaign, plus interviews with
RFK's friends and staffers, and even an interview with the killer's brother.
These series launch billboards were snapped along
Santa Monica Boulevard in
West L.A. on April 17, then later above
West Hollywood's Fairfax Avenue on April 22, 2018.

Will we ever see another
Kennedy run for
U.S. President in the future? Maybe the
Democratic Congressman from
Massachusetts and grandson of
Bobby Kennedy, Joe Kennedy III, will have something to say about that soon.
