Come and help us celebrate 50 years of improving the capacity to address the causes and consequences of crime and violence through research, demonstration and advocacy!
The 2007 Equal Justice Benefit will feature award-winning author and futurist Malcolm Gladwell. Mr. Gladwell will be speaking at our annual fundraiser on Tuesday, October 9th, beginning with a reception at 5:30pm at the Pantages Theatre. He will address the findings of our 50th Anniversary research examining the key developments that have shaped Minnesota’s Criminal Justice System over the past half-century.
Malcolm Gladwell has been a staff writer with The New Yorker magazine since 1996. His 1999 profile of Ron Popeil won a National Magazine Award, and in 2005 he was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. He is the author of two books, “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference,” (2000) and “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” (2005), both of which were number one New York Times bestsellers.
