A sincere liberal whose commitment to racial equality was
pursued with courageous action. Today, of all days,
appropriate respect must be paid.
"Mary
Jo Kopechne wasn't a scion of one of American's wealthiest
families; she was just a girl from an average, middle class
family, whose idealism led her to Birmingham, Alabama, during
the Civil Rights era . . . We'll never know, of course, what
direction her life would have taken . . ."
Requiescat In Pace.
