It’s been a few days since Ted Kennedy passed away and I can’t stop thinking about Jorge Muñoz.
The two men couldn’t be any more different. Kennedy was privileged beyond belief, an heir to not only one of the wealthiest family fortunes in America, but also to a political dynasty. Muñoz is a Colombian immigrant who came to the United States in the ‘80s after his father died in an accident.
