Pulitzer Prize-winner Hank Klibanoff at Joyner - Oct. 14

Join us next Monday, Oct. 14, at 4:30 p.m. in Joyner Library room 2409 for journalist Hank Klibanoff, co-author with Gene Roberts of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning book “The Race Beat.” He’ll discuss violence during the Civil Rights movement and why cold cases from the time matter.

Klibanoff is the creator and host of “Buried Truths,” a narrative history podcast produced by WABE (NPR) in Atlanta. The podcast won Peabody and Robert F. Kennedy awards in 2019 and is drawn from the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project, which Klibanoff directs at Emory University in Atlanta.

A native of Florence, Alabama, and now an Atlanta resident, Klibanoff joined Emory at the close of a 36-year career in newspapers in Mississippi and at The Boston Globe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where he was managing editor for news. He is a professor in the creative writing program at Emory, where he teaches nonfiction.
