Former United States President Barrack Obama has mourned the sad passing of America’s human rights advocate Ethel Kennedy
Ethel died on Thursday morning due to complications from a stroke she suffered last week.
Taking to X, Obama said Ethel Kennedy was a dear friend “with a passion for justice, an irrepressible spirit, and a great sense of humor.”
She spent her life advocating for social justice and human rights, continuing the legacy of her husband, former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, after his 1968 assassination.
Obama added that Kennedy touched the lives of countless people around the world with her generosity and grace.
“…was an emblem of enduring faith and hope, even in the face of unimaginable grief. Michelle and I are thinking of the Kennedy family and all those who loved this extraordinary woman”, said Barrack.
