Progressive Forum Houston presents Bill Moyers, Thursday, November 17 at 7:30 PM, in Wortham Center, Brown Theater.

Widely acclaimed as one of America’s most prolific and respected journalists, Bill Moyers has received every major media award for his life’s work, including over 30 Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He is especially known for his remarkable 40-year run on public television with such breakthrough programs as Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth; A World of Ideas; Healing and the Mind; On Our Own Terms: Death and Dying; Buying the War; his weekly series NOW with Bill Moyers; Bill Moyers Journal, plus a number of landmark investigative documentaries.

Moyers entered journalism as a cub reporter for his hometown daily newspaper in Marshall, Texas. He was an organizing founder and deputy director of the Peace Corps, Special Assistant and then Press Secretary to President Lyndon Johnson, and publisher of Newsday before beginning his broadcast career in 1971.

He currently serves as president of the Schumann Media Center, a non-profit organization that supports independent journalism. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Moyers on Democracy and, most recently, Bill Moyers Journal: The Conversation Continues. He will greet fans and sign books at the end of the evening.

Thanks to our exclusive promotional partner: HoustonPBS.
