Gwen Ifill was in studio on Saturday, January 23 and WXXI taped her lecture to share with our viewers who weren't able to attend.

On January 23, 2010 Gwen Ifill, moderator and managing editor of Washington Week and senior correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, came to Rochester for a WXXI visit! She shared lunch with a special group of WXXI friends, and then spoke to more than 200 guests in studio A. She shared stories about her work as a journalist and about her best-selling book The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. She also took many questions from the audience. Her taped lecture airs on WXXI-DT 21.2/cable 524 on Saturday, February 6 at 1 p.m. and Monday, February 8 at 4 p.m. 

It can also be viewed online here.
