The St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Westfall Politics & History Series Presents an Evening with Former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun

 
Author of “Trailblazer: Perseverance in Life and Politics”

 

In Conversation with Missouri State Senator Brian Williams

The first Black woman ever elected to the Senate. The first woman to represent the state of Illinois. The first Black woman to serve as a US ambassador to New Zealand. These are just a few of the “firsts” that Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun can lay claim to since entering politics in the 1970s. Since then, the self-professed “Black girl from the south side of Chicago” has been shattering ceilings and making history. In “Trailblazer,” Moseley Braun shares the full story of her extraordinary life in a fascinating narrative filled with poignant and powerful stories steeped in the civic and civil rights history of our nation.
