(1/2) What an honor to have the city of Florence dedicate a garden in honor of my father's legacy on his centennial birthday. I hope this garden will inspire people to gather, reflect, and recommit to building a world Daddy dreamed of: one of peace, unity, and moral courage.

(2/2) In 1968, when asked how he’d like to be remembered, Sen. Kennedy quoted Camus: “Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.” He added, “I’d like to feel I’d done something to lessen the suffering.”

As we welcome the long-overdue ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the release of all hostages, and the resumption of aid to Gaza, we must also acknowledge that there's a long road ahead toward sustainable peace. That road must be built on justice, accountability, and respect for human rights.
