COOPER: Before we go, some sad news to share with you. Gwen Ifill, a groundbreaking journalist and role model to many of us, has died. Ifill was the co anchor of PBS NewsHour. Over the years, she also worked at NBC, the "Washington Post" and the "New York Times". Back in February, she moderated Democratic primary debate. She also moderated the 2004 and 2008 vice presidential debates. And in 1999, Ifill made history becoming the first African-American woman to host a major political T.V. talk show when she took over PBS's Washington Week in review. She had been battling endometrial cancer. Gwen Ifill was just 61 years old. That does it for us. Thanks very much for watching. CNN TONIGHT with Don Lemon starts now.
