We continue our eight-week series of interviews with former congresswomen. Eva Clayton served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1992 to 2003 -- the first African American woman to represent North Carolina in Congress. She talks about serving as president of the congressional freshman class, her Agriculture Committee assignment, and her focus on national hunger and nutrition legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Historian conducted the interview. 

Full program airs Sunday August 19 at 10am ET
