How has this right impacted Your Story in History?

Write about it and let us know.  Will your right to vote have a place in your memoir?

Sen. Ted Kennedy

As soon as we heard the news of Senator Kennedy’s passing, we couldn’t help but start exchanging the stories that impacted our own personal histories. We wondered how the many events that fill the legacy that is the Kennedy family will shape our own memoirs.

The Kennedy Family’s legacy spans generations. From John & Bobby in the 50′s and 60′s to JFK Jr., in the 90′s, and even in recent months as Caroline considered her run for Senate.

So it made us wonder. How has History impacted Your Story?

Please take a moment and let us know by replying to this post.
