Born at St. Margaret's Hospital on Jones Hill in Upham's Corner, Senator Edward Moore Kennedy was a most accomplished scion of Dorchester. Grandson of Boston Mayor John F. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald and son of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy of Welles Avenue outside Codman Square, Senator Kennedy's extraordinary legislative career produced more than 2,500 bills advocating for issues such as health care reform, HIV/AIDS treatment, and family, worker and civil rights.
Dorchester hosted a public opportunity to pay tribute to the Senator on August 27 and 28 at the John F. Kennedy Library at Columbia Point, Dorchester. Thousands waited patiently in long lines - the Kennedy family thanked every person there. The funeral in Mission Hill was splendid, emotional. The crowds lining the procession route, amazing.
Quite a tribute to the man.
Rest in peace, Ted.
