Mar. 1, 2017: Pulitzer Prize-winning Supreme Court expert Linda Greenhouse and CBS correspondent and presidential historian Mo Rocca will be the featured speakers at the 19th Annual Brendan Gill Lecture, sponsored by The Bronxville Historical Conservancy, on April 21.
The lecture, which will begin at 8:00 pm in Concordia College's Sommer Center, is presented each year as a gift to the community and honors former Bronxville resident, editor, and writer Brendan Gill, who was a champion of architectural preservation and other visual arts.
Linda Greenhouse is the author or co-author of four books on the Supreme Court. Awards for her writing include a Pulitzer Prize; the American Philosophical Society’s Henry Allen Moe Prize for writing in the humanities and jurisprudence; the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism; the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism; and the Carey McWilliams Award from the American Political Science Association for "major journalistic contribution to our understanding of politics."
Mo Rocca is a television correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning and host of The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation airing Saturday mornings on CBS. Presidential history is often the emphasis of his cover stories, features, and profiles on CBS.
In 2004 he was noted for his coverage for Larry King Live as a convention-floor correspondent at both the Democratic and Republican Party conventions, and he covered the 2008 election for NBC. Earlier in his career he spent four years as a regular correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and following that he worked four years as a regular correspondent for The Tonight Show on the NBC TV network. He began his career in television as a writer and producer for the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning PBS children's series Wishbone. He was awarded an Emmy for his writing for the 64th Annual Tony Awards.
