Secretary Clinton will present an award at the ninth annual Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards on March 10th at 6:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Center. Secretary Clinton founded the Vital Voices Global Partnership, a leading international NGOs dedicated to supporting emerging women leaders, after the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing to promote the advancement of women as a U.S. foreign policy goal. This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Beijing UN World Conference on Women.

I knew she was a founder. She is one hell of a woman. So inspiring.

Madelaine Albright was also a founder. I asked the Clinton campaign to use this in the election because it challenges the accusation she is racist. Look at ALL the woman of all races and nationality that are involved.
She is just so incredibly awesome and not a racist bone in her body.........it still sickens me to think of how they used the race card over and over throughout the campaign to underly her and to keep their koolaid drinkers from seeing the truth and getting sober, such a distraction they caused and so much time wasted that she can never reclaim
I watched my oldest daughter, an attorney, at the time 26 years old turn into a true Obot and it caused major problems for us. Many of those young adult...college age kids were totally convinced that if you were over 50 then you had to be somewhat racist......your generation was just raised that way....was her comment. I only hope that this time around enough Americans will WAKE UP and realize that we are a Country of COLOR......ALL COLORS.......we play together, work together, eat together, celebrate together, grieve together, live together and sleep together. We are friends, lovers and family. RACE is not the issue here........it is deceit, dishonor and mass manipulation. I'm rambling here..........sorry!
Let's just hope it's not going to be round two all over again. Cause this Hope and Change thing ain't been workin for me and it has got to go!

It's a shame they tried the race card, considering her closest aides and personal are minorities, from Huma to Cheryl.
