Maverick Speaker Series - The University of Texas at Arlington
Juan Williams, one of America's leading journalists, is a news analyst, appearing regularly on the news magazines "Morning Edition" and "Day to Day." Knowledgeable and charismatic, Williams brings insight and depth — hallmarks of NPR programs — to a wide spectrum of issues and ideas.
From 2000-2001, Williams hosted NPR'...s national call-in show "Talk of the Nation." In that role, he brought the program to cities and towns across America for monthly radio "town hall" meetings before live audiences. The town hall meetings were a part of "The Changing Face of America," a year-long NPR series focused on how Americans are dealing with rapid changes in society and culture as the United States enters the 21st century. The series, supported by a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts, involves monthly pieces airing on "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered," as well as "Talk of the Nation."
