EVENT DETAILS

In June 1972, a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters marked the beginning of one of the most turbulent eras of American politics. As journalists for the Washington Post, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward captured international attention with their investigative reporting that culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Join us as Bernstein reflects on the role of the press in uncovering the Watergate scandal and how it continues to resonate in the present day.

Carl Bernstein is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author, and political analyst. Moderator to be announced.
