Ted Kennedy: A legacy of social justice
Ted Kennedy was a champion of social activism. From his life of warm family ties and secure finances, Kennedy devoted himself to agendas that provided the less privileged opportunities to live their American Dreams. His legacy is a source of national pride that symbolizes justice and a progressive future.
In addition to the most popular of Kennedy’s movements, health care, he cosponsored a bill of rights for people with developmental disabilities, which included non-discriminatory accommodations in education, polling sites, and housing, among other areas; he revealed the heroism of military families and granted them due recognition; and Kennedy also developed legislation to reform our bankruptcy laws to protect pensions of workers and retirees by creating worker compensation plans when corporate executives file for bankruptcy.
Here is a link to a long list of Kennedy’s success in advancing civil rights and international human rights.
