Samantha Power, the United States' ambassador to the United Nations,
joins George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" on Sunday to speak about
her recent trip to Africa, where she confronted the memories of one
genocide in Rwanda and tried to stop another from occurring in nearby
Central African Republic. Here are five facts about Powers ahead of
her visit:

1) She was born in Ireland and raised there until she was nine, before
moving to the United States.

2) Right out of undergrad (Yale '92), she worked as a reporter who
filed from the Balkans for The Economist, The Washington Post and
others.

3) She won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for her book, "A Problem From
Hell: America and the Age of Genocide." The non-fiction work details
how U.S. policymakers looked away instead of acting when faced with
evidence of genocide in Bosnia, Rwanda and elsewhere.

4) In 2004, she was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most
influential people in the world, due to her work in human rights.

5) She's a big Boston Red Sox fan. She caught a Sox-Yankees game this
week with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Not sure what's less likely: this RedSox fan braving foreign land of
Yankee Stadium tonite or going w/Henry Kissinger
