SOUTH BEND — Ethel Kennedy, whose husband Robert campaigned for president here 40 years ago before his assassination in Los Angeles, will visit South Bend on Saturday.

She’ll be stumping on behalf of Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat seeking his party’s nomination for president.

"Barack is so like Bobby," Kennedy said.

Kennedy, and her son, Max, will be at the West Side Democratic and Civic Club about 1:15 p.m. Saturday, the Obama campaign announced Wednesday.

The club is at 617 S. Warren St. in South Bend. Doors open at noon for the event, which is free and open to the public.

Other members of the Robert and Ethel Kennedy family, including their daughter, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, have endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president.
