Vernon Jordan, activist, former Clinton adviser, dies at 85

Former President Bill Clinton remembered Jordan as someone who never gave up on his friends or his country. Jordan brought his big brain and strong heart to everything and everybody he touched. And he made them better, Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said in the statement. His friendship with Clinton took them both to the White House. Jordan was an unofficial aide to Clinton, drawing him into controversy during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. After serving as field secretary for the Georgia NAACP and executive director of the United Negro College Fund, Jordan headed the National Urban League, becoming the face of Black America’s modern struggle for jobs and justice for more than a decade. He was nearly killed by a racist’s bullet in 1980 before transitioning to business and politics.
