Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Eugene Robinson will be discussing the importance of the press in a free society.

Eugene Robinson writes a twice-a-week column on politics and culture and hosts a weekly online chat with readers. In a three-decade career at The Washington Post, Mr. Robinson has been city hall reporter, city editor, foreign correspondent in Buenos Aires and London, foreign editor, and assistant managing editor in charge of the paper's Style section. He started writing a column for the Op-Ed page in 2005. In 2009, he received the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for "his eloquent columns on the 2008 presidential campaign that focus on the election of the first African-American president, showcasing graceful writing and grasp of the larger historic picture". Robinson is the author of "Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America" (2010), "Last Dance in Havana" (2004), and "Coal to Cream: A Black Man's Journey Beyond Color to an Affirmation of Race" (1999). He lives with his wife and two sons in Arlington.

Eugene Robinson will be the main speaker with remarks from NBC4 anchor and attorney, Colleen Marshall. At the dinner, we will welcome students and teachers from local Columbus schools as well as Judges and other prominent leaders in the greater Columbus legal community.

Books for the dinner event are provided by our local community partner, Gramercy Books.
