Professor Larry Shore Invited to Mark Anniversary of RFK's Visit to South Africa

Professor Larry Shore (Film & Media), South-African born producer and co-director of the documentary "RFK in the Land of Apartheid: A Ripple of Hope," was in that country recently, along with members of the Kennedy family, to commemorate the 1966 visit of Robert F. Kennedy.  Kennedy's visit, Shore said, which came at the height of the apartheid regime, "gave people a feeling that someone important in the outside world was on our side, opposed to apartheid and would maybe do something about it."  According to an article in the UK paper The Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3617630/Kennedy-relatives-visit-South-Africa-mark-anniversary.html, Professor Shore's documentary "includes footage from Kennedy's arrival in South Africa, as well as a photograph of him with Albert Luthuli, the head of the anti-apartheid African National Congress and a Nobel laureate living under travel and other restrictions in a rural area. Kennedy met students from the white Afrikaner minority that oversaw racist rule, and toured Soweto, the Johannesburg area where blacks were required to live under South Africa's system of racial segregation."
