Carol Moseley Braun, First Black Woman Senator

The first Black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate talks about her time in the public eye. She didn’t let society’s low expectations keep her down. She also paid a price she didn’t expect. For anyone who wants to break a glass ceiling, it’s an inspiring — and challenging — listen.

Note: Carol Moseley Braun went on to become U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand. Her title today is “Amb. Moseley Braun.”
