The Lion sleeps tonight as a Champion of the underdog passes away August 26, 2009 at 4:02 am
Senator Ted Kennedy lost his battle to brain cancer late last night in the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, after serving closed to 47 years in the US senate. The youngest of Joe and Rose Kennedy’s children and the brother of JFK was influential in legislating in favor of civil rights, healthcare and education reforms to help the less fortunate, as well as defending workers’ rights. Although he is a national icon, he has a special place in the hearts of us, massachussetts’ residents. Mr senator, your work, but mostly yourself will be truly missed! RIP
