Gwen Ifill, an amazing, inspiring woman, veteran journalist, newscaster and co-host of PBS NewsHour died  November 14 following a battle with cancer. 

She was a  groundbreaking journalist who covered the White House, Congress and national campaigns during three decades for The Washington Post, The New York Times, NBC and, most prominently, PBS. She inspired so many journalists to tell the truth no matter what, to work hard and to achieve what you want. She was one of the last of the true journalists who were dedicated to their work.

The loss of Gwen Ifill brought condolences and heartfelt messages from celebrities and fellow journalists. Don Lemon broke down in tears during his tribute to her.

Rest In Peace, Gwen Ifill
