The Toledo Lucas County Public Library is thrilled to welcome Carol Moseley Braun to Toledo!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In 
TRAILBLAZER
, Moseley Braun details her stormy childhood in post-World War II Chicago up to her many firsts since entering politics in the 1970s, shattering ceilings and making history: The first Black woman ever elected to the Senate. The first Black woman on the Senate Judiciary committee. The first woman to represent the state of Illinois in Congress. The first Black woman to serve as a U.S Ambassador to New Zealand.
Yet her journey to Capitol Hill and to international renown was not an easy one, rife with obstacles, controversies, and lessons learned. In this memoir, Moseley Braun candidly shares the story of her extraordinary life in a fascinating narrative filled with poignant, powerful, and sometimes funny stories. Born into a family of New Orleans jazz musicians and Alabama farmers whose history of activism and military service dates back to the Civil War, Moseley Braun talks about her remarkable life including:
· Marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and her engagement during the civil rights, women’s and Black Power movements
· How her unusual encounter with a bird catapulted her into politics
·How Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou and Hollywood celebrities supported her groundbreaking Senate campaign
· Passionately filibustering against the Confederate Flag on the Senate floor
· The friendships and alliances made throughout her storied career, from Joe Biden to Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy
· Running for president as the lone woman in a field of men
· How meeting icons Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and Dr. Dorothy Height inspired her
TRAILBLAZER
 is a story of perseverance, a moving narrative from a once-in-a-generation icon, steeped in the history of our nation. Carol Moseley Braun offers readers her uniquely American story and an optimistic letter to future generations on the work we have done and have yet to do, to ensure that the United States lives up to the promise of liberty and justice for all.
“My life has been filled with serendipity, adventure, and adversity,” said Carol Moseley Braun, who was sworn in as Chair of the United States African Development Foundation in 2024. “Every experience has been anchored by my strong faith in God.”

托萊多大教堂

即日可用

西班牙中部的托萊多是一座建於古羅馬帝國時期的老城，老城區中心的托萊多大教堂是一座有近八百年歷史的老建築，大教堂高過周圍的建築，日出日落時很漂亮。

托萊多古城

歷史建築

Gipameru

被稱為&ldquo;El casco&rdquo;的老城區很美麗。從一個景點到另一個景點，您將在整個旅程中爬上爬下，做好充分的腿部鍛鍊準備。

聖馬丁橋

旅の径

位於托萊多古城西側的聖馬丁橋，橫跨塔霍河的一座中世紀橋樑，十三世紀開始建設、十四世紀後期建成。兩座哥特式風格的防衛塔屹立橋頭，一大拱+四小拱的五拱石橋與我國的趙州橋異曲同工。凝望石橋，斑駁的外表訴說著歷史的滄桑，橋頭的城徽昭示着不朽的輝煌，遠處的修道院綻放着挺拔的身影&hellip;

托萊多城堡

托萊多的阿爾卡薩爾城堡，位於古城最高處，居高臨下的城堡，歷史悠久又命運多舛。三世紀時，建成一座羅馬宮殿；十世紀時，穆斯林攻克托萊多后將這個古城制高點建為要塞；十一世紀時，基督教奪回托萊多並在此建設城堡；十六世紀卡洛斯一世統治時期，城堡改建王宮；之後的繼任者腓力二世遷都馬德里，城堡失去了原有的重要地位，先後作為監獄、兵營、作坊和陸軍學院。西班牙內戰期間，城堡又在戰火中嚴重損毀；戰後為褒獎守衛城堡的將士，佛朗哥下令按原樣重建了城堡、留存至今。現今的城堡，方正壯觀、巍峨依舊；城堡的底層，有着些許留作紀念的殘垣斷壁；城堡的主體，成為了軍事博物館和圖書館；城堡的頂層，360&deg;無死角將古城美景盡收眼底。

聖若望皇家修道院

MaryJoy Dela Cruz Gonzales

迴廊和教堂都充滿了美麗的細節,非常值得一看。很棒的老修道院。雖然離托萊多中心有點遠,但值得一去。門票相當合理,每位成人只有3歐元。
