Hillary Clinton returns to Washington, and to the scene of her last government job, for the ceremonial opening next week of a new exhibition and museum area at the State Department that will be partly named for her.
Clinton is slated to speak at the ceremony and reception on Tuesday, alongside fellow former secretaries of state Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell, according to an invitation to the event, which has not been announced. It would be only her second public appearance in Washington since losing the Nov. 8 election.
One of the four exhibition halls in the U.S. Diplomacy Center will be called the Hillary Clinton Pavilion, with others named for former secretaries James A. Baker and Henry Kissinger, and for current Secretary of State John F. Kerry.
The approximately $50 million glass-fronted addition to the hulking State Department building will house a museum of diplomatic history and artifacts. It is also meant to give a welcoming front door to a forbidding structure otherwise walled off by security gates and concrete barriers.

(58,785 posts)As for not continuing the campaign against our president-elect before the inauguration, that would be highly inappropriate to put it mildly. If we wanted a dangerously irresponsible and clueless candidate who didn't care how badly he destabilized the nation, we'd have voted for Trump.
No doubt Hillary will be once again be making public statements on various issues AFTER we have effected our peaceful transition of power.
