This was confirmed on Snopes, but I have found no other documentation of it.

In 1968, Robert Kennedy made a speech on a radio broadcast of Voice of America.  In his speech he stated:  "Things are moving so fast in race relations, in 40 years a negro could achieve the same position my brother had.  ...we are trying to make progress and we are making progress.  We are not going to accept the status quo."

Here is a link for the full article, I could not copy and paste.

Yeah, I know. It went from colored, to negro, to black, to Africa-American.
