In March 1968 in Manhattan, Kansas, thousands of people flocked to Kansas State University to hear Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s first speech as a Presidential candidate. One of those people, Rachel Scott, was a college student and photographer/reporter for the Kansas State Daily Collegian. She also took photographs in Nebraska before the state primary in May and after the school year ended, in California. This exhibition features never-before-published photographs of those events and the 25-hour vigil after Kennedy had been fatally shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. On June 6, Robert F. Kennedy was pronounced dead at the age of 42. This exhibition tells Scott’s story of his campaign that ended with his tragic death.
