Hillary Clinton speaks candidly with Kai EL'Zabar, the executive editor of the Chicago Defender. (Worsom Robinson/Chicago Defender)

By Kai EL'Zabar (Executive Editor, Chicago Defender)

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came to Chicago on her Midwest Campaign jaunt to address the Women's International Luncheon at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition 45th Annual Convention. After the luncheon, the "Chicago Defender" sat down, up close and personal, with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to get greater insight into her vision for a better America. "I have an old-fashioned belief that if you run for president, you should tell people what you're going to do," Clinton said as she revved up. "Listen, the next president of the United States can have the opportunity to select one, two, three Supreme Court justices...and we don't want that president to be Donald Trump." Back stage, Clinton said that she has a personal commitment to working with the Black Press and all local press. However, she has noticed in partic- The 90th Birthday celebration was on June 30th 2016 at the Thorntree Country Club ular the assumption of some in various parts of the country where she has in Desoto, TX, Those in attendance included: high school classmates, college class- traveled that it is assumed that the Black Press will show up. mates, DISD Colleagues, Top Ladies of Distinction and Family.
