This afternoon at Arlington County Central Library, author and “Ready for Hillary” co-founder Allida Black spoke to several dozen people about Eleanor Roosevelt – and specifically her book, Tomorrow Is Now – and Hillary Clinton.

In this video, Allida Black responds to a question about Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, and about learning from past experience.
In this video, Allida Black discusses the purposes of “Ready for Hillary” – laying the political groundwork for a possible Hillary Clinton presidential run in 2016 – and mentions her cofounder, former Arlingtonian (and former House of Delegates Democratic primary candidate) Adam Parkhomenko.
