“The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.”
Clinton was the first-ever student speaker for Wellesley College in 1969.
“We’re not in the positions yet of leadership and power, but we do have that indispensable element of criticizing and constructive protest.”
That’s one of the many powerful statements Hillary Clinton gave in her speech to her Wellesley College peers on May 31, 1969. The then-Hillary Rodham was the first student to ever speak at Wellesley’s commencement address.
