Lord have mercy on his soul .May he rest in peace 🙏
this is incredibly moving. i was a huge admirer of teddy and how he turned his life around to become one of our greatest senators but i had no idea he had such a direct impact on people's lives like this.
Unfortunately empathy isn't looked upon as a superpower...but it should be.
What a wonderful video to present in honor Ted Kennedy's life. Fascinating interviews and insight into the senator's compassionate side.

I wish they'd covered his driving skills a little more though....
He was a flawed Human Being, as are we all.. He was both a good and tragic anomaly.. While I don't agree with much of his politics and feel disdain for some of his actions, it cannot be denied that he was a champion for good.. His heart was gold..
I like the positivity in this comment section!
Ted Kennedy has always had such a direct impact on the lives of ordinary people. Americans can have what they have today because of Teddy and they should be thankful. The man is no saint, he's not perfect, he's had his share of mistakes, but despite all that, he has braced through tragedies and still willing to fight for the common man, never hesitating to come to aid of someone who needs or ask for his help. I will always remember him as the man who gave me a chance to walk again.
The magnitude of Senator Teddy Kennedy's abnegation,commiseration and proactive epitomization which were initiated free of hesitation to heal and legislatively appeal in tribute and quest of sufferng souls will forever be enveloped within the hearts and minds of those whose needs were neglected from Massachussetts to Moscow! Thank you for vivifying excerpts from singular and momentous resolutions which had required an infinite degree of emotional magnanimity in order to provide fulfillment and ethical closure to remedy each life chapter's heartwrenching plight and exposure with due vital closure.
Very touching. Teddy was gold.
The senator was also a great help in assisting Mstislav Rostropovich and Mme Galina Vishnevskaya in leaving the Soviet Union.
American people generally are so good hearted that they cannot see how evil a person can be and that is the problem for the rest of the world who have to sit back and see douchebag after douchebag be worshipped for becoming a public servant. It is completely odious and will be the end of us all.
I dont know what to think of him. Sometimes he was disgusting, as in his moral failings and sometimes reprehensible private life, and in his extreme and unfair partisanship and horrible treatment of men like Robert Bork, and at other times, incredibly courageous and devoted to his principles, and steadfast in his public service in the Senate...
Sep 18th omg.. That's my birthday :(
Yep, Teddy was also there when Mary Jo Kopechne needed help. Oh wait...
He did n t help Mary Jo Kopeckne chappaquidick Island I never will understand why
What a moving tribute to one of the geatest U.S. senators. In time, more revelations will further redeem the compassionate yet sometimes private undertakings Sen. Kennedy has worked for most of his life. Like all other human beings, he definitely had his shortcomings. But I believe History will be kind to this man. Long Live Sen. Ted Kennedy!

No.
Except Mary jo
You think so huh steveconn
He needed many enablers to help him as the "Lion (Lying) of the Senate."
...sadly, Mary Jo was not one of them, was she?... There once was a Senator from Mass Who wanted a strange piece of ass He lucked up and found it But screwed up and drowned it And now his future is past.
He didn’t help Mary Jo
