Fifty years ago, Hillary Rodham moved to Arkansas. In the 18 years that followed, she would marry Bill Clinton, teach aspiring lawyers, serve as Arkansas’s first lady, practice law, become a mother, and work with everyone she could to build a better Arkansas.
“Grace and Grit: A 50-Year Retrospective of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Years in Arkansas," explored her experience settling in Arkansas and the profound impact she made in the state.
The program featured excerpts from a forthcoming oral history that Secretary Clinton recorded in 2019 with the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History. Dr. John C. Davis, University of Arkansas professor and executive director of the Pryor Center, and Dr. Angie Maxwell, University of Arkansas professor and director of the Diane Blair Center for Southern Politics and Society, moderated the program and reflected on Secretary Clinton’s Arkansas years and her lasting impact on the state.
