From C-SPAN’s announcement:
Linda Chavez is an author and former Reagan administration official who held several positions, leading the White House Public Liaison office, serving as staff director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and chairing the National Commission on Migrant Education. She was also the Republican nominee for Senate in Maryland in 1986, and George W. Bush’s first nominee for Labor Secretary in 2001.
Linda is the author of several highly regarded books, including Out of the Barrio: Toward a New Politics of Hispanic Assimilation, which the Denver Post described as a book that “should explode the stereotypes about Hispanics that have clouded the minds of patronizing liberals and xenophobic conservatives alike.” National Review described Chavez’s memoir, An Unlikely Conservative: The Transformation of an Ex-Liberal, as a “brilliant, provocative, and moving book.”
She has authored fiction books as well, including The Silver Candlesticks: A Novel of the Spanish Inquisition. A native of Albuquerque, Linda Chavez was honored by the Library of Congress in 2000 as a “Living Legend” for her contributions to America’s cultural and historical legacy.
