Clinton congratulated Senegal yesterday on the 50th anniversary of its independence. (Meanwhile, Senegal unveiled a controversial giant statue — taller than the Statue of Liberty — that was made with help from North Korea.)

Clinton will be speaking at the University of Louisville (in my home state!) on April 9!
