|
|
Thursday, October 17 @7pm
In Truth Worth Telling, the former CBS Evening News anchor and much admired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley reflects upon some of his most dramatic, moving, and inspiring encounters in the field and how they exemplify what is good about humanity both in America and abroad. With straightforward storytelling skills of a seasoned journalist, Pelley shares private recollections of very public moments as well as intimate portraits of courage, hope, determination and humanity. As a counterbalance to the divisive partisanship that has split the nation, Pelley offers a book about values, ethics, and the importance of telling the truth. Q&A will follow the talk. The event is free. Books available for purchase and signing courtesy of Elm Street Books. Media sponsor is GOOD Morning Wilton. Wilton Library will close early at 5pm this day to set-up for program. Both registration & wait list are full for this event.
