Gwen Ifill, who overcame barriers as a black female journalist, dies at 61 - Washington Post
Monday, November 21, 2016The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer.”In 2004, Ms. Ifill moderated a vice-presidential debate between incumbent Richard B. Cheney, a Republican, and then-Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.). She drew praise for asking a startling and revealing question about health care.“In particular,” she said, “I want to talk to you about AIDS, and not about AIDS in China or Africa, but AIDS right here in this country, where black women between the ages of 25 and 44 are 13 times more likely to die of the disease than their counterparts. What should the government’s role be in helping to end the growth of this epidemic?”Cheney questioned her numbers, and Edwards talked about Africa. Many health experts lauded Ms. Ifill for shining the spotlight on office-seekers who appeared far removed from a largely invisible population.Ms. Ifill later moderated a 2008 vice-presidential debate between Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican contender, and Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the Democratic candidate. In recent years, she hosted town-hall-style specials for PBS centered on fractured race relations, police shootings and gun violence — “America After Ferguson” and “America After Charleston.”“I was taught that the search for truth and the search for justice are not incompatible and are, in fact, essential,” Ms. Ifill told an audience of journalism students in 2013. “Diversity is essential to the success of the news industry, and journalists must include diverse voices in their coverage in order to reach a broader audience. We have stories to tell, but many in our audience have stopped listening because they can tell that we’re not talking about them.”Gwendolyn Ifill was born in Queens on Sept. 29, 1955, and grew up as the fifth of six siblings. Her father, O. Urcille Ifill, was a Panamanian immigrant who became a pastor in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Her mother, the former Eleanor Husbands, was a homemaker from Barbados.The Ifills led an itinerant life around the Northeast for her father’s career, and Ms. Ifill graduated from high school in Springfield, Mass. She graduated in 1977 from Simmons College in Boston with a bachelor’s degree in communications studies. After an inauspicious job at a local TV station, she joined the Boston Herald American, writing about food (“I couldn’t cook,” she once said) before advancing to the school board beat — her first experience with bruising politics in a city cleaved by forced busing.Newsroom politics were also stark, she recalled. The “old white guys” who filled the paper had “never seen anything like me — a college-educated black woman,” Ms. Ifill once told an interviewer. “And they didn’t know how to deal with me.”She joined the Baltimore Evening Sun in 1981, covering city hall, and then came to The Post in 1984, initially assigned to the Prince George’s County bureau and covering suburban politics. She eventually covered the presidential bids in 1988 of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and televangelist Pat Robertson, both long-shot candidates for the Democrats and Republicans, respectively.In 1992, a year after the Times hired her as a congressional correspondent, she went on the presidential campaign trail...
