R.I.P. Gwen Ifill

On an entirely different note today....a beloved journalist Gwen Ifill passed away after her fight with cancer.  She was the first African American women to moderate the VP debates of 2004 and 2008. She co-hosted the PBS news hour and  
    "She not only informed today’s citizens, but she also inspired tomorrow’s journalists," he said. "She was especially a powerful role model for young women and girls who admired her integrity, her tenacity and her intellect, and for whom she blazed a trail as one half of the first all-female anchor team on network news."
     Thank you Gwen and I post this tribute to you today photo thanks to USA today....America needs strong, intelligent female role models and you were always one .....
