Steven Roberts, husband of legendary ABC News journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts, says part of her legacy was telling women 'you can do this.' 'So many women saw her as a role model.'
The ABC News journalist and political commentator won countless awards and was cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting.Legendary ABC News journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts has"two legacies," said her husband of more than 50 years.
Cokie Roberts was a fixture on national television and radio for more than 40 years. She won countless awards, including three Emmys, throughout her decades-long career. She was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame and was cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting. She also wrote five best-selling books focusing on the role of women in American history.
Cokie was the daughter of political scions. Her parents, Hale and Lindy Boggs, both served in Congress, representing the city of New Orleans for a total of almost 50 years."The Boggs family at the Capitol, with Cokie holding her father’s hand," writes Steven Roberts. “When we lived in Greece … there was a coup in Cyprus. I flew off to Cyprus, but then … the Greek government fell and after seven years of military rule, it was the biggest story in the world that week," he said."[Cokie] started covering it for CBS... I come back to find I'm married to a veteran foreign correspondent.”"When we moved to California in 1974, Cokie produced a children’s show, 'Serendipity,' for the local NBC station," writes Steven Roberts.
Her husband believes that the real core of her appeal was to other women, who thought, “wait, somebody who thinks like me, somebody talks like me, somebody who sees the world the way I did."Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts anchor"This Week" on ABC, Jan. 23, 1997.
