CPB President and CEO Pat Harrison provided opening remarks for the lunch session.
Senator Collins was honored with the CPB Thought Leader Award, which is given to leaders who affirm the essential value provided by public media to the American people.
Ken Burns gave us a preview of his film “The Address.” “The Address,” funded as part of the American Graduate initiative, showcases students with learning challenges from a small school in Putney, Vermont who memorize and recite the Gettysburg Address every year for an audience of parents. The program also featured a video message from some “friendly neighbors” that live on a very special public media street.
