On June 3, RFK Children’s Action Corps honored four individuals at its Embracing the Legacy event, held at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. Laurie Garduque, Director of Justice Reform at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, was among the Honorees in recognition of her ongoing commitment to juvenile justice reform and dedicated leadership throughout the Models for Change Initiative. Since 2006, RFK Children’s Action Corps has held Embracing the Legacy to honor inspirational individuals who tirelessly work to carry on the legacy of Robert F. Kennedy by raising awareness and fighting against societal injustice and inequality that affect children and families. We congratulate this year’s Embracing the Legacy Honorees:
