Summary:
"The lives of black women in American
politics
are remarkably absent from the shelves of bookstores and libraries. For
Colored
Girls
Who
Have
Considered
Politics
is a sweeping view of American history from the vantage points of four women
who
have lived and worked behind the scenes in
politics
for over thirty years—Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry, and Minyon Moore—a group of women
who
call themselves The
Colored
Girls
. Like many people
who
have spent their careers in public service, they view their lives in four-year waves where presidential campaigns and elections have been common threads. For most of the
Colored
Girls
, their story starts with Jesse Jackson’s first campaign for president. From there, they went on to work on the presidential campaigns of Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Over the years, they’ve filled many roles: in the corporate world, on campaigns, in unions, in churches, in their own businesses and in the White House. Through all of this, they’ve worked with those
who
have shaped our country’s history—US Presidents such as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, well-known political figures such as Terry McAuliffe and Howard Dean, and legendary activists and historical figures such as Jesse Jackson, Coretta Scott King, and Betty Shabazz. For
Colored
Girls
Who
Have
Considered
Politics
is filled with personal stories that bring to life heroic figures we all know and introduce us to some of those who’ve worked behind the scenes but are still hidden. Whatever their perch, the
Colored
Girls
are always focused on the larger goal of “hurrying history” so that every American — regardless of race, gender or religious background — can have a seat at the table. This is their story."--From publisher.
