Program Description

The St. Louis County Library Foundation and University of Missouri’s Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy Presents

 

A Civil Dialogues Event with Journalists Jean Becker and Linda Lorelle

Panel Topic: “Finding Common Ground: Strategies for Civil Dialogue and Healing the Divide”


Civil Dialogues was conceived by journalists Jean Becker, former Chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush, and Linda Lorelle, former NBC-affiliate news anchor.  Both graduates of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Becker and Lorelle decided to use their skills, networks and passion for our democracy to work toward bringing us together. The mission of Civil Dialogues is to create a safe space for constructive, civil conversation on some of the most important, contentious topics of the day.  The facilitated conversation with a panel of local representatives from various fields is designed to leave those who participate feeling seen, heard, and empowered to continue engaging in civil dialogue.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
