MSE Symposium: Michael Moore to Discuss the State of
American Politics
Michael Moore |
Liberal political activist, author and Academy Award-
winning director Michael Moore will present the lecture
"Stupid White Men? The Current State of American Politics"
at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, in Homewood's Shriver Hall.
The lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer
period, and a reception and book signing in the Clipper
Room.
Moore's speech is part of the 2003
Milton S. Eisenhower
Symposium, The Great American Experiment: A
Juxtaposition of Capitalism and Democracy, a student-run
series examining how the two pillars of American
society--capitalism and democracy--interact, and how their
interactions affect Americans.
Moore has been challenging economic and political
giants for more than two decades and has emerged as one of
America's freshest and funniest political voices. As host
and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning TV Nation,
he redefined the TV news magazine and created what The
Wall Street Journal called "that rarest of species--a
television program both funny and important."
Moore's most recent, best-selling book, Stupid
White Men - and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the
Nation, takes a satirical look at 21st-century America.
His film Bowling for Columbine won the 2003 Academy
Award for best documentary. It was screened last week along
with Moore's first film, Roger and Me, to supplement
his lecture.
