KUAR | By Seth Hooker

On Thursday, March 14, the Clinton Presidential Center presented a conversation between Dr. Colleen Shogan, Archivist of the United States and Former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Shogan leads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) which preserves some of the nation’s most historic documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The talk was held in honor of Women’s History Month.

Clinton began by acknowledging Shogan as the first woman to serve as Archivist of the United States. When asked why she thought it was important for women to be in the rooms where big decisions happen, Shogan said the key reason was “agenda setting.”

by Talk Business & Politics staff (staff2@talkbusiness.net)

The Clinton Foundation announced Tuesday (Aug. 8) plans for a major expansion of the Clinton Presidential Center. The foundation is partnering with Studio Gang, the award-winning international architecture and urban design practice led by Jeanne Gang, to design the project.

Studio Gang was part of the architecture team that designed the renovated Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. A dollar amount for the expansion was not disclosed.

The proposed expansion will enhance the Clinton Center’s ability to host exhibitions, convene global leaders, and provide educational opportunities, it said in a news release. The expansion will also include the new Hillary Rodham Clinton Institute that will hold her personal archives and papers, and serve as a hub for her nonprofit and advocacy work.

Clinton Center Suspends Operations Amid Rising COVID-19 Cases

By DANIEL BREEN

After roughly a month of being open for visitors, the Clinton Presidential Center in downtown Little Rock is again temporarily suspending operations. This comes as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to skyrocket in Arkansas due to the delta variant and the state’s low vaccination rate.

The center announced last Friday it would close its indoor exhibits beginning Monday. Clinton Center spokesperson Rebecca Tennille says it was a tough, yet necessary, decision.
