Young Democrats of Atlanta:
"In such a challenging world, such a fantastic and dangerous world, we will not find answers in old dogmas, by repeating outworn slogans, or fighting on ancient battlegrounds, against fading enemies, long after the real struggle has moved on. We ourselves much change, in order to master change. We must rethink our old ideas and beliefs, before they capture, and before they destroy us. For those answers, America must look to its young people, the children of this time of change." -Robert F. Kennedy, 1966
