Ethel Kennedy was an American patriot, a fighter for justice, and an extraordinary force for good.
A national and global leader, Ethel Kennedy used her voice to advocate for the causes she cared most about—from human rights around the world to conservation and gun safety. Guided by a deep sense of faith and an abiding optimism, she fought for over five decades to build a stronger nation and a better world.
Ethel was a leader of courage, and a reminder to all of us that from great loss can come great purpose. Her legacy will inspire people around the world for generations to come.
Doug and I send our love and our prayers to the Kennedy family.
