Episode Details

Ethel Kennedy, widow of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, left a lasting impact on American history as a human rights advocate and mother of eleven. Born in Chicago, she married Bobby in 1950 and raised their ten children before Rory arrived after his assassination in 1968. Ethel channeled her grief into activism, founding the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. She was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014. The Kennedy family faced tragedies, but Ethels strength inspired her children, many of whom pursued public service. A new FX series by Ryan Murphy spotlights the Kennedys, featuring Ethel in one episode. She passed away in October 2022 at 96.
