Robert Kennedy actively worked to help African Americans register to vote during the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the southern United States. As Attorney General, he sent federal officials to assist with voter registration efforts and challenged discriminatory practices that hindered Black citizens from voting. He also supported the Freedom Riders and other civil rights activists, emphasizing the importance of voting as a fundamental right. His commitment to civil rights culminated in a broader push for legislation that would help eliminate barriers to voting for African Americans.
