Back in Selma, Alabama this morning to kick off the #SelmaJubilee. Lots of events throughout the day. Tune into the Unity Breakfast where I’ll talk about the fight for voting rights & how it must be central to a 21st century civil rights movement.https://t.co/mo5QbiNznr— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 3, 2019
Former Senator Hillary Clinton honored at Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast - The Selma Times‑Journal
By James Jones
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton highlighted the Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast on Sunday at Wallace Community College-Selma.
Clinton received the 2019 International Unity Award and was inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame by former Senator Hank Sanders and his wife, Rose Sanders.
“Women have a hard time when they seek position of power and fight for women’s rights,” Hank Sanders said. “She had to fight to become a Senator and fight to become Secretary of State.”
The capacity crowd in WCCS Gymnasium gave a thunderous standing ovation for Clinton, a former U.S. Presidential candidate in the Democrat party. The former First Lady connected the two honors.
“The two honors go hand in hand,” Clinton said. “The fight for Civil Rights, Women’s Rights and human Rights have been the driving force of my career. I’m humbled and honored to receive the award.”

“Consider the fact that, 100 years after the 19th Amendment was signed into law and women finally won the right to vote, at least on paper, there is not just one woman running for President...but several. Enough to field a basketball team.“
