U. S. Senators Grill Dr. Condoleezza Rice |
|

Senators grill Dr. Condoleezza Rice, who has being confirmed to
succeed Gen. Colin Powell as the second African American
Secretary of State in the 229 year history of this great nation,
we couldn’t help from being Black and proud of Dr. Rice,
although we don’t agree with her politics.
