Senator Edward Moore Kennedy - Timeline of Public Service

Description

"His energetic adherence to perseverance, his plain dogged determination, his ability to rise from the ashes…always with grace, and usually with a liberal dose of humor, were his trademarks…life itself inspired him." – Robert C. Byrd

In a career spanning almost 47 years and ten presidencies, Edward Kennedy fought for almost every piece of important legislation that advanced civil rights, health care, immigration, education, and the economic well-being of Americans. His lasting commitment to freedom and democracy helped shape foreign policy and fuel his determination to achieve equality and justice for all.
