Opening night of the DNC in Denver proved to be moving when U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy appeared unexpectedly in his first public appearance in over a month, in support of Sen. Barack Obama. Kennedy, diagnosed with brain cancer in May, was clearly in his element on a familiar stage addressing the convention in an emotional speech. These photos clearly show Kennedy’s passion, emotion and conviction.
