Presidential Events.

The Clinton Presidential Library Little Rock, Arkansas Last Tuesday, marked the 50th Anniversary of the Little Rock Nine. Former US President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton hosted the Opening Reception at the Clinton Presidential Library on Monday evening on September 24, 2007 to kick off the 50th Anniversary of the Little Rock Nine Ceremony. I am proud to announce MEGA Management's client Chef Wendell Price (www.ChefWendell.com) catered the special event with pastry Chef Rodney LoveJones (www.IamBillJones.com). The menus included: Miniature Crab Cakes w/ Crawfish Crown Lump Maryland Crab lightly breaded with a herb blend presented as mini cakes with a lemon butter Louisiana marinated crawfish topping Mango Chicken Satay Freshly cut mango with a Caribbean style sautéed chicken served woven on sweetened bamboo Petit Jerk Lamb Australian Lamb prepared petit style marinated in Jerk Seasonings from the Islands Mini Sweet Potato Cheesecake in Filo Tart shells Topped with Hazelnut/Nutmeg Crème Fraiche with White Chocolate drizzle as a finish The Little Rock Nine were a group of African-American students who enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The ensuing Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, and then attended after the intervention of President Dwight Eisenhower. These nine young people walked through a gantlet of jeering whites shouting venomous threats. This became an important event in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Five decades later, fans swarmed them for autographs and pictures. News crews lobbed softball questions. In front of a crowd of 5,000 people, dignitaries including former president Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, governors, congressmen and the mayor were on hand to laud their bravery in desegregating the school.
