Former first lady slates March date in Harlem to hail women
Among an impressive Women’s History Month lineup of speakers and presentations slated to hail the celebrated gender this month, the New York Public Library recently announced Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Social Research the location for a March 27 dialogue with former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Rodham-Clinton is expected to opine about her books — “It Takes A Village” “Hard Choices” “Stronger Together” “An Invitation To The White House” and “Living History” among a catalogue compiled prior to and after her colossal loss to the Republican underdog pundits predicted to be an unlikely winner.
