Ethel Kennedy

Our Daily Grace!!!

Amazing Grace is the courage to give everything you've got. You're only on earth once.
                                                                                  - Ethel Kennedy

 April 11, 1928– On this day, Ethel Kennedy was born and the world was graced. 

Ethel Skakel Kennedy (born) is an American human-rights campaigner and widow of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. 

Kennedy is the third of four daughters and sixth child of George and Ann Brannack Skakel and was a classmate of her future sister-in-law Jean Kennedy Smith at Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart. Kennedy is one of two surviving Skakel siblings and the longest-lived. She and her husband married in 1950 and had eleven children. Their house, Hickory Hill in McLean, Virginia, was the scene of exclusive parties. 

Shortly after her husband's death, she founded the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, a nonprofit charity working to realize RFK's dream of a just and peaceful world. In 2009, Ethel Kennedy was among the chief mourners at the funeral of her brother-in-law Ted Kennedy. In 2014, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

In celebration of the birthday of Ethel Kennedy, Amazing Grace is transformed as Ethel Kennedy.
