Former Senator Carol Moseley Braun talks to Tavis about her quest for the White House. Multitalented Mandy Moore gives the inside scoop on her new film project.
Carol Moseley Braun
Her 1992 election to the U.S. Senate not only made Carole Moseley Braun the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Senate, but also the first female senator from Illinois. Moseley Braun grew up on Chicago's South Side. A product of the city's public schools, she ultimately earned her law degree from the University of Chicago. She joined the U.S. attorney's office and, at age 31, was elected to the Illinois legislature. In 1998, after losing her bid for re-election to the Senate, President Clinton nominated Moseley Braun to be U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand. Following her posting, she started her business consultancy and taught political science. Moseley Braun returns to the national forum with her presidential bid.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore
As a child, Mandy Moore spent much of her time exploring her love of performing. She went on to become one of the most versatile artists of her generation, pursuing interests in music and film. Her platinum albums launched her into stardom, and a lead turn in the film A Walk to Remember made audiences take notice of her big-screen presence. Moore's film credits include Because I Said So and License to Wed, and her '07 CD, "Wild Hope," marked her debut as a songwriter. "Amanda Leigh" is her newest album.
