Rove. This post is made up of what you are condemming. Critisism out of hand. Smearing a fine lady and a fine Democrat.
Donna Brazile, a senior fellow at the Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland, was recently appointed as national chair of the Voting Rights Institute, the Democratic Party's major initiative to promote and protect the right to vote. The Voting Rights Institute was created in response to the irregularities of the 2000 election and was headed initially by former Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson. Brazile is also an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University.
Brazile served as the campaign manager for Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, making her the first African American woman ever to manage a presidential campaign. A veteran political organizer and campaign manager, Brazile is an at-large member of the Democratic National Committee and designed the Voter/Campaign Assessment Program for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee - a program that has been crucial in boosting black turnout in key congressional districts. Brazile has served as chief of staff to Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia's delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, and as host/producer of "A View From the Hill" on Radio One News in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland.
In 1981, Brazile served as National Student Coordinator for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Committee. Later, she was appointed to serve as the National Mobilization Director for the 20th anniversary commemoration of the 1963 historic March on Washington. In 1985, she served as regional director for Hands Across America. She was the National Coordinator for Housing Now in 1989. Brazile was also founder and executive director of the National Political Congress of Black Women.
Brazile is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the prestigious Congressional Black Caucus Youth Award, and the National Women's Student Leadership Award. She was named one of Ebony Magazine's Outstanding Young Achievers, and Washingtonian magazine named her one of the city's "100 most powerful women." A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Brazile earned her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University.
