Don Lemon’s Emotional Tribute
Gwen you were a black woman who thrived in this brutal business dominated by (mostly) men. You transcended race and gender. You were simply brilliant and powerful, a quiet storm. Professional… Understated… Humble.”- Don Lemon, CNN Tonight
It was a beautiful tribute that we so rarely see from today’s “perfect” stars. Don is one of our favorites because he is so real… Gwen Ifill, you will be sorely missed.
