Caroline Kennedy


Caroline Kennedy is the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. She was five years old when her father was killed, and spent most of her childhood with her mother in New York City. After graduating from Radcliffe College she worked in news media as a photographer's assistant, then began working as a research assistant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1986 Kennedy married Edwin Schlossberg, an exhibit designer at the museum. She became an attorney after earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1988; with Ellen Alderman, she co-wrote two books about civil liberties ("In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action" and "The Right to Privacy"). The former director of the Office of Strategic Partnerships for the New York City Department of Education, Kennedy is vice chair of the New York City Fund for Public Schools, a public-private partnership that has raised over $285 million for the city's public school system. Kennedy has edited four best-selling books, including "The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis" (2001), "Profiles in Courage for Our Time" (2002), "A Patriot's Handbook" (2003) and "A Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children" (2005). In September 2011 Kennedy released "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy," a volume of interviews with her mother conducted by historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. in the months following President Kennedy's assassination.
