Who are both black, btw, and I'd like to see an African American woman in the White House, especially during these times.

Emmett J. Rice

University professor

Emmett John Rice was a governor of the Federal Reserve System, a Cornell University economics professor, an expert in the monetary systems of developing countries, and the father of President Barack Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan E. Rice.


Lois Rice

Lois Ann Dickson Fitt Rice was an American corporate executive, scholar, and education policy expert. Known as the ‘‘mother of the Pell Grant” because of her work lobbying for its creation, she was national vice president of the College Board from 1973 until 1981.

All this was on Wikipedia.

I don't know how to post pictures on DU, but they're both strikingly handsome, as is their only child, Susan.

I just like the vibe her family puts out there, and Susan writes about them in her book "Tough Love". She's just a very fine woman.
