Letter from Elie Wiesel to Bill Clinton regarding youth programs and speaking engagement
The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity (EWF) invites President Bill Clinton to be the first speaker at a planned seminar series in New York, which will involve media leaders. This initiative is being organized in cooperation with Harlem Live, a journalism, technology, and leadership program for inner-city youth aged 14-21 in the United States. The letter highlights EWF's sponsorship of education programs for at-risk youth and expresses anticipation for the Clinton Global Initiative. Elie Wiesel, joined by Marion, extends warm regards to President and Mrs. Clinton. David L. Phillips, EWF's executive director, is slated to follow up on arrangements.
