As the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library was celebrated, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared some words of advice for those feeling disheartened by the recent presidential election results. Speaking to a packed theater in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Clintons urged the audience to remain involved and find ways to give back to their communities, even amidst the current political climate.
Despite the divisive nature of the election, Bill Clinton emphasized the importance of staying engaged and finding ways to communicate with those who hold different beliefs. He reminded the audience that we are all just passing through, and it is important to focus on building each other up rather than tearing each other down. His wife, Hillary Clinton, who ran against former President Donald Trump in the 2016 election, acknowledged that the next few years may be challenging for those who do not agree with the decisions being made, but stressed the importance of finding something positive in each day to maintain mental well-being.
The Clintons were joined by journalist Laura Ling, whom Bill Clinton helped free from detention in North Korea in 2009. They discussed the future plans for the Clinton Presidential Library, which include updating exhibits and expanding to include Hillary Clinton's personal archives. The goal is to create a more modern and inviting space for people to gather and connect.
When asked about advice for those disappointed by the election results, Bill Clinton encouraged them to continue working towards bringing people together and improving the lives of others. He reminded them to focus on their own goals and not get caught up in the "score" of the political game. Hillary Clinton echoed this sentiment, urging the audience to figure out ways to win in the future.
The event also featured a panel discussion with cast members of the hit show "The West Wing" and former White House staffers. It was a reunion for many former Clinton aides, supporters, and close friends, including former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and adviser James Carville. McAuliffe, who dined with Carville at a popular restaurant from Clinton's 1992 White House run, believes that the library and its expansion are important for the future. He emphasized that it is not just about honoring the past, but also about looking towards the future and the Clinton model for success.
Overall, the weekend was a time for reflection and celebration for the Clintons and their supporters. Despite the recent election and its challenges, they remain hopeful and focused on making positive contributions to their communities and the world.
