Legend, Senator Ted Kennedy, Passes Away at 77

Senator Edward M. Kennedy has died at the age of 77 after battling a brain tumor. 

Senator Kennedy was known as a champion of the working class and the poor, a powerful voice on healthcare, civil rights, and war and peace. To the American public, he was best known for his relationship to America's most glamorous political family. The Senator was the 3rd longest serving senator in U.S. history. 

Since his passing, the media has interviewed the Senator's close friend, family, and acquaintances. Each person who speaks about the Senator speaks of his true compassion and truly kind and giving nature. It is rare to see so many different people from all walks of life be positively impacted by a political figure.
