Description
A large outdoor crowd gathers at a campaign rally for Robert F. Kennedy in 1964. In the foreground, people wearing coordinated outfits and hats labeled "USA" cheer and wave pom-poms. Many individuals in the crowd hold signs featuring a portrait and the text "LET'S PUT BOB KENNEDY TO WORK FOR NEW YORK." Several people in suits are visible at a table in front of the crowd. The event appears organized and energetic, taking place on a paved area near a grassy field on the campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo.
