Over 80 years ago, my grandmother became a gold star mother when my uncle Joseph P. Kennedy was killed in action in World War II. The foundation that bears his name has changed the world for people with intellectual disabilities and still does today. Thank you Uncle Joe.

- Kobe was not only a talented champion, but also a seeker of justice for @SpecialOlympics athletes. He saw our athletes as his equals. May he find himself now in the arms of God w his precious daughter Gianna. We are sending all of our sympathy to his beautiful family. #RIPKobe

00:00 - On this day in 1968, my mother Eunice opened the first World Games in Chicago, and @SpecialOlympics was born. Walls began to crumble, bridges built, eyes opened, and healing started for people with ID - and the rest of us too. The #1 lesson? Everyone has ability, no exceptions.

00:00 - Our condolences to the family of Shinzo Abe, to the people of Japan, and to all who love democracy. He was a supporter of @SpecialOlympics and together with Ambassador Kennedy helped grow our movement in Japan. We are devastated and resolve to continue our work in his honor.
- (1/2) Almost 60 years since my uncle John F. Kennedy inspired the world in a moment of astounding human clarity, today I was honored to repeat his words at the Rotes Rathaus. “Ich bin ein Berliner.” We are all Berliners. And you Berliners — you are us.
