This was the official photo by HBO to announce Whitney’s “Classic Whitney” HBO Special, which took place in 1997 in Washington, D.C. It was 2 concerts and people sometimes forget that the shows were also a benefit for The Children’s Defense Fund. Whitney donated a quarter of a million dollars to the fund from these shows.
