This is the authentic, original, one-of-a-kind press release issued on March 16, 1968 by then-U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy announcing his 1968 Presidential Campaign. This extremely rare statement was issued by RFK via his U.S. Senate Office and articulates his rationale for seeking the highest office in the nation. This is the actual original document released by Kennedy's Press Secretary on his official color Senate stationery. The stapled document consists of two legal size pages measuring 8.5"x14.0". The header of the first page is printed in blue with the content of the document in black. Also included is the first Presidential Campaign Button issued, which was presented to Kennedy's Press Secretary.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind document and an incomparable piece of American Presidential and political history. The document and button are in excellent vintage condition, showing wear consistent with age. The press release was originally folded and stored in a file and shows the accompanying fold halfway down the page. The paper has colored with age, with the bottom half of the first page appearing darker than the rest. It is otherwise in excellent condition with no tears, creases, stains. or defects. The campaign button is also in excellent vintage condition, measuring 3.5 inches in diameter, with the expected AFL CIO union bug prominently printed on the righthand side.
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to own an iconic document originating with one of the most prolific American political figures of all time. As a former U.S. Senate staffer, this item comes from my personal collection.
