ProPublica's A.C. Thompson on The Michelle Meow Show 8/23/18

This week's in-studio guest: A.C. Thompson

A.C. Thompson is a staff reporter with ProPublica. His stories, which often examine the criminal justice system, have helped lead to the exoneration of two innocent San Francisco men sentenced to life in prison and the prosecution of seven New Orleans police officers. In addition to working as a print and web journalist, Thompson has reported extensively for television, serving as a producer and correspondent for the PBS documentary series "Frontline." His life was fictionalized on the HBO show “Treme.”

We'll discuss his latest documentary, Documenting Hate: Charlottesville 

Join us as Michelle Meow brings her long-running daily radio show to The Commonwealth Club one day each week. Meet fascinating—and often controversial—people discussing important issues of interest to the LGBTQ community, and have your questions ready.
