Best Answer

No, it was JKF's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

He said in the early 1960's that a "negro" could very well become president within 30 or 40 years.

There is a rumor going around that he said this in 1968, making this election exactly 40 years later. However, it is more likely that he said it several years earlier.

Yes, he said that in 1968 speech. 40 years later in 2008, Barack Obama was elected the first black president of the US. How uncanny.
