Hank Klibanoff

Festival Appearance(s):

• The Future of Newspapers, Sunday, 5:00

Hank Klibanoff, coauthor of The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle and the Awakening of a Nation, which won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for history, was a newspaper reporter and editor in the South, the Northeast and the Midwest for 35 years until last year.

Klibanoff, whose last newspaper position was as managing editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and ajc.com for six years, lectures, writes and runs the Cold Case Truth and Justice Project, which uses investigative reporting to dig out the truth behind unsolved racial murders that took place over the past 60 years in the South. Led by the Center for Investigative Reporting, the project is using reporters, filmmakers, multimedia experts, public interest advocacy groups, lawyers and archivists to fill in history's huge gaps, to correct its myths and to bring justice, reconciliation and, where possible, criminal prosecution.

Klibanoff was born in Alabama and lived there during the peak of its resistance to civil rights. After receiving his bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis and his masters at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, he headed to Mississippi, where he was a reporter for six years.

He later worked for The Boston Globe for three years, then for The Philadelphia Inquirer for 20 years, including three as the newspaper's Midwest correspondent, based in Chicago and responsible for a 12-state region.
