John Hockenberry Is Coming–Hurray!
It’s about having a dialogue. If you saw the panel April 7, 2005 when John Hockenberry and Roger Ebert debated the movie Million Dollar Baby, you know why we cheer anytime smart, provocative John Hockenberry returns to the Conference on World Affairs. Hockenberry went on to elaborate on his thoughts in an article entitled Million Dollar Bigot that later became a documentary also called Million Dollar Bigot.
Who is Hockenberry? He’s a 3-time Peabody Award winner, 4-time Emmy winner, and Dateline NBC commentator. His book, Moving Violations: War zones, Wheel Chairs, and Declarations of Independence became the core of his off-Broadway, one-man show, meaning he’s funny as well as thought provoking. No way do you want to miss this year’s Conference on World Affairs, April 5-9, on the Boulder University of Colorado Campus.
