A CELEBRATION TURNED INTO A FAMILY FIRESTORM

What was meant to be a night of celebration and unity in Washington, D.C., has erupted into one of the most explosive Kennedy family controversies in decades.

Kennedy Human Rights, proudly announced that Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, would receive the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his “commitment to free speech and truth in the face of power.”
