Ted Kennedy Tribute Video At Democratic Convention


His voice firm, his wave familiar, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy told a cheering Democratic National Convention tonight that his is “a season of hope” for an era of justice and fair prosperity with the election of Barack Obama as president.

Kennedy spoke of the future and said he means to be part of it, special words from a man suffering from brain cancer. The Massachusetts senator said he will be in the Senate in January to stand with Obama “when we begin the great test.”


He did not speak of the grave cancer he faces but of the things he said he means to do and share. In words echoing those of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, he said that in November “the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans.

“The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.”
