Social Studies

"This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life, but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over the love of ease. It is a revolutionary world we live in, and thus as I have said in Latin American and Asia, in Europe and in the United States, it is young people who must take the lead."    Robert Kennedy, "Day of Affirmation Speech", June 6, 1966, University of Cape Town, South Africa
