Ethel Kennedy, who lost her husband Robert F. Kennedy to assassination, has died. She was 96. She was by her husband's side when the senator was killed while running for president in 1968. She endured that tragedy and many others while raising their 11 children. A millionaire’s daughter and family matriarch, she advocated for many causes after founding the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. She demonstrated for farmworkers in Florida and joined a hunger strike against President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Former President Barack Obama called Ethel Kennedy “a dear friend with a passion for justice, an irrepressible spirit, and a great sense of humor.”
