Donna Brazile
Brazile has devoted her life to working for progressive change, responsible governance, and the advancement of all people in a society that is fair and equitable. Since 1976, she has served on every major presidential campaign, and in 2000 became the first Black woman to serve as the manager of a major party presidential campaign, working for former Vice President Al Gore.
Brazile first got involved in politics at age 9, helping elect a city council candidate who promised to build a playground in her neighborhood. The author of two best-selling books, she is also a member of the USA Today Opinion Board of Contributors and was formerly a syndicated newspaper columnist.
For anyone wanting to get tickets to the show in person, box office hours are 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday-Friday.
Reserved online tickets can be sent to patrons via text message or email. These digital options are helpful to avoid standing at the box office the night of the show. Tickets can also be picked up in person beginning one hour before the presentation.
The Omnibus Speaker Series at Purdue Fort Wayne is made possible in part due to the support of the English-Bonter-Mitchell Foundation, which has sponsored every season since the series launched in 1995.
