[ehrnst]

How many does that make this week?

Roosevelt University officials, including Board of Trustees Chair Patricia Harris, presented the award on stage at the theatre following Clinton’s public appearance for her book tour and new book, What Happened.

"Your life’s work resonates with Eleanor Roosevelt’s statement that ‘We must be able to show people that democracy is not about words, but action,’” Roosevelt University President Ali R. Malekzadeh said in honoring Clinton.

Since its founding in 1945, Roosevelt University has been committed to education for democracy, citizenship and social justice. The University was named for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, who was chair of the University’s first advisory board. She dedicated the University to “the enlightenment of the human spirit – through the constant search for truth, and to the growth of the human spirit through knowledge, understanding and good will.”

“We are proud of our legacy and our history – and we are proud that you are the first recipient of this award in Eleanor Roosevelt’s name,” Malekzadeh said.

1. "democracy is not about words, but action"

We all have the former, very few demonstrate the latter, and Hillary is at the top of the group among current politicians. This was the inaugural award...big shoes to fill going forward.
