On March 12, 2018, hundreds of people gathered at BetaWorks Studios in lower Manhattan to celebrate photographer Barbara Kinney’s historic book, #StillWithHer. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton each gave amazing, heartfelt speeches about what Barbara has meant to them personally as well as professionally in a relationship that goes back to the days of Kinney working as one of President Clinton’s official White House Photographers. Also in attendance were Chelsea Clinton who contributed an especially moving essay to #StillWithHer.
