Welcome to our first feature for Black History Month! Gwen Ifill was born in NYC. Her father hailed from Panama and her mother from Barbados. Ifill grew up all over New England as part of her father's ministry and graduated from Simmons College. Afterward, she began her career as a journalist for the Boston-Herald American in 1977. As a history maker, Ifill would be the first black woman to host a national U.S. public affairs broadcast ('99) and to moderate a vice presidential debate ('04). Gwen Ifill would be praised her entire career for her journalistic integrity as she covered politics, as she was able to remain fair across the board in her criticism and analysis.
We recommend reading her New York Times Best Selling book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, a stunning political analysis of the mid to late aughts and the initial impact of Obama's election.
We salute Gwen Ifill's legacy as an afro-Latina in journalism, her integrity, thoroughness, and her time as a leading voice in public affairs coverage.

!Feliz Mes de la Historia Negra, a todos! Here at TAD we want to celebrate this Black History Month by highlighting four prominent Afro-Latino figures. We can't wait to share the diversity and intersectionality within our own communities, as well as the impacts made by (L-R) Gwen Ifill, José Celso Barbosa, Piri Thomas, and Miriam Jiménez Román.

Have a great week and a happy Black History Month!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day everyone!

On this day of remembrance, we encourage everyone to celebrate by honoring peaceful protests and active political participation! TAD hopes that you consider activities such as attending your local MLK Day Parade, educating yourself on MLK’s legacy (we personally recommend I am MLK Jr. (2018)), and even checking on the current Texas Legislative Session by visiting capitol.texas.gov! When you’re informed, you can use your voice just as King did to speak against injustice.
