Five ex-presidents call for unity and donations at hurricane benefit concert

Call it the benefit concert’s most unlikely collaboration.

The five living former U.S. presidents put aside political differences and made a cameo appearance onstage at the “Deep From the Heart” concert in College Station, Tex., on Saturday to help raise money for victims of a recent spate of natural disasters.

Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter waved to the crowd as an image of the American flag was displayed behind them and people snapped photos.

The U.S. mainland and its territories have been walloped by one natural disaster after another. In all, hurricanes and wildfires have killed more than 100 people and left residents with billions of dollars in damage that they have only begun to clean up.
