Bob Greene : Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968 , a year after winning the California primary.

He says the assassin was angry at Bobby for supporting Israel in the 1967 Six Day War with Arab states .

Greene: Kennedy was able to talk to the two polarities of powerlessness at the same time.

Greene says the era of Bobby Kennedy's death was the period when the U.S. youth became the "abandoned" idealism of our youth.

Bobby Kennedy's 1968 campaign was characterized as a redemption tour.

Kamala Harris's challenge is greater than Kennedy 's was, since the current right wing, under the aegis of Trump , has set much of the white population on edge about our multiracial society.

Harris possesses a shining intelligence, an infectious optimism, a deep-seated integrity, and a manifest love of a country that allowed the child of two nonwhite immigrants to ascend as far as she has already.
