Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was remembered by two presidents and one of her successors as a tireless crusader for democracy at a Wednesday memorial service attended by a veritable who’s who of the US foreign policy establishment over the past three decades.
Albright, who served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations from 1993 to 1997 and led the US State Department from 1997 to 2001, was the first woman to serve in either post. She passed away on 23 March after a long battle with cancer.
