"And it is my hope that each one of you may experience the incredible gift of the friendship of people who are poor and weak, that you, too, may receive life from them. For they call us to love, to compassion and to community." —Jean Vanier
I'd say that Eunice Kennedy Shriver experienced that gift and lived boldly with love and compassion for the disAbility community. My post on her 2009 death and her remarkable contributions is here.
The photo of Shriver by David Lenz, above, was recently put on view and commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, as part of the First Prize, Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2006.
