Bill Clinton’s Philanthropic Post-Presidency

On Wednesday night in Charlotte, Bill Clinton will stand before the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and place Barack Obama’s name into the official nomination for president. That’s the Bill Clinton America knows—a political force. But there’s another side to the former president, reveals reporter Amy Chozick in a New York Times essay Tuesday, “a global philanthropist on a journey to cure the world’s ills and burnish his legacy.” Trekking through Rwanda, South Africa, Mozambique, and Uganda with Clinton and his daughter on a six-day tour, Chozick lands a front-row seat to the philanthropic work that has consumed his post-presidency life.
