Gwen Ifill, managing editor and moderator for PBS's Washington Week and senior correspondent for The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, spoke Thursday night before GW students, faculty, and members of the Washington D.C. community at the Jack Morton auditorium in the School of Media and Public Affairs. There she promoted her new book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama is a New York Times bestseller.
SMPA Professor Frank Sesno conducted the hour-long interview, at one point playing a clip from Saturday Night Live in which Ifill was parodied by actress Queen Latifah for her role as moderator during the 2008 Vice Presidential Debate.
