Join us at a festive fundraiser for the Center for Houston’s Future featuring 2015 guest of honor, New York Times columnist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof, at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11.

Kristof won his first Pulitzer in collaboration with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, for their coverage of the Chinese democracy movement and its suppression in Tiananmen Square. He received his second Pulitzer in recognition of his “graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur and that gave voice to the voiceless in other parts of the world.”

In their latest book, A Path Appears, Kristof and WuDunn shine a light on the work of people actively engaging with the world to battle oppression and expand opportunity.

Moderating the conversation will be Chris Knapp, perhaps Houston’s foremost advocate of impact investing, and whose community engagement leadership reaches from the University of Houston Honors College to the Hermann and Memorial Park conservancies to Workshop Houston and Peckerwood Garden.

The Montrose Management District
board workshop meeting scheduled for April 3
has been postponed indefinitely.
