Senator Kennedy dies after battling brain cancer

Senator Edward Kennedy died late Tuesday night after a yearlong fight with brain cancer.  Kennedy represented Massachusetts in the US Senate for 47 years, during which he came to be known for supporting a wide range of progressive causes like health care, voters rights and immigration reform.

As a young senator, Kennedy vowed to promote the ideals of his fallen brothers, but as time passed the youngest member of the Kennedy dynasty became a force of his own. FSRN´s Matt Pearson reports.
