In conversation with Tracey Matisak

A scion of America’s most fabled political dynasty, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a clinical professor and supervising attorney at the Environmental Litigation Clinic at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law. He is also the founder and president of the nonprofit Waterkeeper Alliance, former senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the former chief prosecuting attorney for Hudson Riverkeeper. He cohosts the syndicated talk radio program Ring of Fire and is the author of several books, including Crimes Against Nature and Framed. Kennedy’s latest book is an intimate exploration of his turbulent childhood, his public and private pain, and the defining moments that shaped him.
