The Ted Kennedy Pictorial Tribute.

Edward Moore Kennedy was born on Feb. 22, 1932: in Boston, the youngest of nine children of Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy. Seated from left in this 1938 family picture in Hyannis Port, Mass., are Eunice, Jean, Edward on the lap of his father Joseph, Patricia and Kathleen. Standing from left are Rosemary, Robert, John, Rose and Joseph Jr.

Widow Jacqueline Kennedy, center, and daughter Caroline are accompanied by the late president's brothers Sen. Edward Kennedy, left, and Attorney General Robert Kennedy.


In 1968, tragedy struck the Kennedy family again as Robert, Senator from New York running for President, was felled by an assassin's bullet.

Above, Edward reaches out to widow Ethel on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral after funeral services. Sen. Kennedy's eulogy would later be chosen one of the best American speeches of the 20th century.

Throughout his esteemed career, Sen. Kennedy showed a dedication to civil rights issues, championing a number of causes including the increase of minimum wage, and key legislation such as Title IX and the Voting Rights Act amendments.

On May 14, 1994, the Senator sat in front of portraits of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. alongside an array of civil rights leaders, (r-l) President Clinton, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott King, Ethel Kennedy and Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds during the groundbreaking ceremony for a Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy statue at the Indianapolis, Ind. MLK Jr. Memorial Park.


Senator Kennedy kept doing what he loved with a smile on his face, throwing out the first pitch at a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on April 7, 2009, in Boston.

I'll have to forgive him for this one ... I'm a diehard Yankees fan! Big ups though, a man's man.
