WASHINGTON (AP) An emotional former President Bill Clinton eulogized his longtime friend and advisor Vernon Jordan at a Tuesday memorial service, saying that in his civil rights work, in politics and in business, he was always in “the freedom business.”
Jordan had an uncanny ability to read people and to inspire them, Clinton said.
“Vernon Jordan was worthy of our love and admiration because he was a man in full, Clinton said.
“He proved you did not have to choose between being good at business or law and believing they should be both more inclusive, more open, more on the forefront of positive social change, he said. “That you didn’t have to choose before standing up for what you believed is right, and treating everyone you met including people you had no political agreements with as a decent human being.
