Biography: Robert F. Kennedy made significant contributions to the civil rights movement and fought against organized crime. He served as the United States Attorney General and later as a U.S. Senator from New York.

Kennedy played a key role in his brother John F. Kennedy's successful presidential campaign in 1960. After the election, he was appointed Attorney General, becoming one of the youngest cabinet members in American history.

As Attorney General, Kennedy worked closely with civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. to advance the cause of racial equality. He also led a vigorous campaign against organized crime, targeting several influential mafia figures.

Following President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Robert Kennedy continued to serve as Attorney General under President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1964, he resigned to run for the U.S. Senate, winning the election and representing New York.

During his time as a Senator, Kennedy became an advocate for the poor and opposed the Vietnam War. In 1968, he launched his own presidential campaign and emerged as a front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

Tragically, on June 5, 1968, Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, just after winning the California primary.
