Apparently Ted Kennedy gave the commencement address at Ole Miss in 1978. The Daily Journal has a copy of the speech.
Just one thing I wanted to point out was the humor he used at the beginning of the speech:
I am here today on a long overdue mission of apology – to concede that on one of the most crucial political issues of an earlier time, a Massachusetts President was in the wrong, and the people of Mississippi were in the right.
I am speaking – as you all must know – of President John Adams and his appointment of another Massachusetts citizen – Winthrop Sargent – to be the first governor of the newly created Mississippi territory.
