Free Expression Festival: A Conversation with Dave Barry

Miami Herald humor columnist and author Dave Barry discusses his career, the art of humor writing and how the First Amendment protects comedy and satire.

The program is part of the Free Expression Festival, held in celebration of the Freedom Forum’s annual Free Expression Awards on April 15. The awards recognize individuals for their courageous acts of free and fearless expression.

Barry is presenting the award to his colleague, investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, who is being recognized for her series of investigative reports on Jeffrey Epstein.

Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri will moderate the conversation.

The festival will run Monday, April 12 through Thursday, April 15 on freeexpressionawards.org. Each day will feature honorees, presenters and others talking about the importance of the First Amendment.
