Melissa Harris-Perry

On MSNBC, Melissa Harris-Perry developed a unique mix of scholarly expertise and political commentary to tackle the topics of the day, an approach that made her a wildly popular TV host with a devoted fan base. Now Harris-Perry has taken her show’s format live and on the road! "MHP Live" comes to CHF with a mix of topics and guests designed to dig deeply into guns and gun violence, as well as the 2016 Election.

This program is presented in partnership with Illinois Humanities as part of the Pulitzer Prizes Centennial Campfires Initiative in celebration of the 2016 centennial of the Prizes.
