Are you looking for something to do at 6 p.m. tonight? How about tuning into Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's "Townterview" (interview + town hall) at Zumbi dos Palmares University, Brazil's only Afro-Brazilian institute of higher learning.
The event will be streamed live by the State Department here.
"The audience of the event will include students and representatives of NGOs, educational institutions, government, and the business community. The Secretary will answer a range of questions from U.S.-Brazil relations, to the value both countries place on education, diversity, and social inclusion," State's release said.
"I have been wanting to come to Brazil ever since I became Secretary of State," Clinton said in remarks at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia Wednesday. Expect Clinton to say little about U.S.-Brazil differences related to new Iran sanctions but a lot about the new Memorandum of Understanding she signed today regarding cooperation on climate change.
