GW will launch the 20th season of its highly acclaimed public television and radio series The Kalb Report on Tuesday evening, August 27, at the The National Press Club. The event will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and will feature civil rights legends John Lewis, Andrew Young and Julian Bond, as well as PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill. Moderator Marvin Kalb covered the event for Walter Cronkite and CBS News.
Now, 50 years later, this distinguished group will explore the impact of the day, the role of the press in the Civil Rights Movement, lessons learned, and how they can be applied in the digital age. For more information and free tickets, visit www.kalb.gwu.edu.
