Description

"You have proven time and again throughout your career that one person, inspired by the vision of a better world and moved by compassion and concern for his fellow man can surmount the odds and accomplish the impossible"

TLS signed “Ted Kennedy, My very best,” one page, 8.5 x 11, United States Senate letterhead, April 21, 1982. Letter to Charles Lee, executive director of the Committee for Education Funding, in part: "I regret not being able to join with you this evening and personally toast you into retirement…You have proven time and again throughout your career that one person, inspired by the vision of a better world and moved by compassion and concern for his fellow man can surmount the odds and accomplish the impossible. You saw poverty and illiteracy and you gave us Title I. You saw competition and conflict among educators and you gave us consensus and coalitions. You saw lean years for education under previous Republican Administrations and gave us the Full Funding Committee. In many ways the challenges have never been greater than those now presented to us by an Administration that has vowed to dismantle everything you and I have stood for through the years. But I am confident we can win this struggle if we remember that the principles you've stood for over the years are the same ones that must guide us as we continue the fight to insure a decent and equal education for all our children." In fine condition.
