Hillary Clinton continues to cope up with the agony of losing the presidential race to eventual winner Donald Trump. However, the former Secretary of State has decided to be in the spotlight once again after conceding the polls.
Clinton's first public appearance is in Washington, D.C. where she made a speech in support of the Children's Defense Fund which was organized in 1973. She admits thinking about cancelling her commitment at the last minute but decides to go through with it out of respect for her mentor.
The lady politician is talking about the group's founder, Marian Wright Edelman, whom Clinton interned for during her days in law school. The former First Lady will later work for her at the Massachusetts-based children's organization after graduating.
During her speech, the Senator says that Edelman provided the inspiration she needed for a speaking commitment prior to losing the elections.
According to Clinton, her mentor knows how to dust herself up after being down. By doing so, the non-profit group founder has extended a hand to help others too.
At one point, the Democrat nominee stresses a line from Martin Luther King Jr. that speaks about morality eventually bending toward justice.
Although she has been defeated, Clinton reiterates that the push towards Washington was all about building an American nation that is all-encompassing and compassionate.
In the course of her 20-minute speech, Clinton has drummed up support for America, iterating that fighting for the flag, for the children and for values are all worth it.
In reference to her time at the Children's Defense Fund, she declares that she wants to be an activist in order to assist young people. Clinton adds that a community's ideals are determined by how it regards its children.
Bill Clinton's other half also manages to address the incoming Administration, stating that she is hopeful that outgoing President Obama's progress should be sustained.
After her speech, the Senator exits through a private door and skipped engaging with the media.
