On June 6, 1968, at the age of 42 and at the height of his
popularity, Robert F. Kennedy was tragically assassinated.
Presidential candidate, U.S. Senator, father—Kennedy was all
of these things—and, to many Americans, he embodied the
power of possibility and positive change during a period of
social unrest, racial inequality, and war. Renowned Life photographer Bill Eppridge followed
and photographed Kennedy during his early campaign days up
to his untimely death, and A Time It Was features
dynamic images of the public Kennedy, as well as rare,
intimate ones, many of which have never before been
published. An essay by Pete Hamill places the events in
historical context, while Eppridge shares his insider’s
perspective on Kennedy. Released to commemorate the fortieth
anniversary of Kennedy’s death, A Time It Was reveals
why the memory and legacy of Kennedy and his dreams continue
to be relevant today.
