Hillary Clinton’s breakout moment at Wellesley College By Frances Stead Sellers and Marilyn W. Thompson
Hillary Clinton’s moment of glory at Wellesley College came when she mounted the stage at her commencement ceremony and took on a powerful Republican U.S. senator, culminating four years of what her campaign now describes as “social-justice activism” on the burning issues of the time.
But the story not yet told is how out of character Clinton’s inflammatory Wellesley speech was. At a time when the country was questioning the system, Clinton was known for working squarely within it. She was a conciliator, not a bomb thrower.
On graduation day, the onetime Goldwater Girl reinvented herself as a provocative voice speaking for her angry generation. With the national media closely following campus upheaval that spring, Clinton stole the spotlight by rebuking a Washington symbol she had helped elect. She undercut Wellesley’s president, once her ally in tamping down campus unrest.
Clinton’s remarks transformed her, virtually overnight, into a national symbol of student activism. Wire services blasted out her remarks, and Life magazine featured her photo, dressed in bold striped bell-bottoms. Clinton soon caught the attention of leading figures of the left, including civil rights activist Vernon Jordan and her future mentor, Children’s Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman, and by the fall, when she entered Yale Law School and met her future husband, Bill, her name was well known.

how much did the Hitlery Foundation pay this puke? It was wall to wall boot licking.
What an absolute pantload.
The media are complete whores.
Isn’t it unreal the double standard when it comes to her and Trump? She is the glorified Saint who can do no wrong and he is evil devil who is intruding upon Her Hellness rise to Glory. I wish I could post a message on that website but the Washington post banned me. I did not kiss the Obama ring enough. I cannot stand this media.
Hillary has parkinsons disease...
I was paying attention back then. I was in high school, but my parents provided me with a Newsweek subscription, plus I watched the nightly news.
I have zero memory of Hillary Clinton. I remember Mark Rudd, Huey Newton, Abbie Hoffman, and Bernardine Dohrn. I remember Kill Your Parents, Off The Pigs, Chicks Up Front, and Steal This Book.
I have zero memory of Hillary Rodham, or Hillary Clinton, during that time.
Agreed.
What an absolute striped, bell bottom, pantload.
You are quite correct, Clinton was never anything but a completely unknown poser. This is a particularly clumsy attempt to rewrite history.
Speaking of rubbish, that Goldwater Girl crap is a pretty good pile. She was a Junior in high school when that election took place.
Everything she claims is a lie.
She is a lie, and the mom of lies.
I like all the bootlickers posting messages on that site on the bottom. All the conservatives are banned (like me) from posting comments and only those who kiss her ring are allowed. Look at these comments, major barf alert......

No matter how you cut it, just compare your’s and/or Trump’s priorities at age 21 with Hillary’s 21!
What an amazing woman. She was built to last.
Amazing woman? AMAZING WOMAN? For doing WHAT exactly? Breaking the law? What the hell is so amazing about her?
So she made her name by being disrespectful to an African American Senator.
If it weren’t for Bill, she’d be a third rate DC lawyer/lobbyist. Assuming she ever passed the DC bar, that is.
I wouldn’t wish that disease on anyone, but with her I made an exception. I can only hope she has it and worse because if that’s what it takes to keep this evil vile criminal out of the White house, then the world will only benefit. She takes office it can potentially cost millions of people their lives because it goes without question, if she is POTUS, Iran will get nuclear weapons and they WILL use them via any number of terror groups. Obama set the stage for that, Hillary will close the deal and when that happens the world will NEVER be the same.
Oh wait, this isn't from a North Korean News Agency
Sooo, Publish the text of her flaming speech and publish all of the speeches she gave to Wall Street bankers who are financing her campaign to see just how good of an orator Harridan Hillary really is.
“...a provocative voice speaking for her angry generation.”
And she hasn’t stopped her nails-on-a-chalkboard screeching, to this day!
Pure historical revisionism.
I honestly doubt she was ever a Goldwater girl at all. Anyone have anything more than her claiming such?
she became a hippie cause she was too fat to shave her legs.
