Steven Holmes reports on race and demographic issues for the Times, where he has worked for 11 years. During this period, he has covered Congress, the presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, and the State Department. Before joining the Times he was a national correspondent for Time magazine. Born in Brooklyn, he grew up in Mt. Vernon, N.Y., which coincidentally is where Ron Brown lived for three years and first became involved in politics. Mr. Holmes graduated from the City College of New York and the Michele Clark Memorial Program for Minority Journalists Program at Columbia University.
Thanks. I did not know Holmes' background.
