Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Eunice Kennedy Shriver died this week.

Best known as the founder of the Special Olympics, she reshaped how we think about people with mental disabilities. Mrs. Shriver ensured that people with mental disabilities have a place in our society, that they are guaranteed civil rights including access to an education.

Much of this you may have heard over the last few days. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any athletes speaking out. Here is one of my favorite videos.  Enjoy!
