Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made history as the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate, and in her run for president in 2016. A lawyer, an author, and a staunch advocate for women, children, and families, she is an active force for progress and human rights. She recalls Eleanor Roosevelt’s leadership role in creating The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a milestone document in the history of human rights.

I'm so glad that Heather and Hillary remind us of this remarkable achievement that enlightens all our lives in these times when, alas, so many Americans worship at the dark and dismal altar of oligarchy.
Former Secretary Clinton is just the person to help us recall Eleanor Roosevelt's role in the UN that brought the world its first Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
