Former President Bill Clinton called the summer of 1963 one of the most formative periods of his life.
It was that summer that Clinton attended Arkansas Boys State and American Legion Boys Nation, where he famously shook hands with President John F. Kennedy.
“Boys State and Boys Nation helped to teach me from a young age that democracy requires us to get off the sidelines and into the arena,” Clinton said on the March 4 episode of his podcast, “Why Am I Telling You This?”, in which he interviewed another Boys State alum, Steven Garza.
Garza is one of the Texas Boys Staters featured in the award-winning documentary, “Boys State.”
