Friend,
Tonight at 9:00 PM ET (6:00 PM PT), ABC will honor the contributions of our friend and People For the American Way cofounder, Norman Lear. Please join us by tuning in tonight to honor Norman’s incomparable and enduring legacy.
During the special, you’ll hear intimate stories and heartwarming reunions, touching on the incomparable impact Norman has had on American popular culture through the years.
For me, this special is not only a continued birthday tribute to a storied artist, activist, and philanthropist but a reminder of why this work — our shared work — is so important. I hope you’ll watch and be inspired to continue the fight to protect the things that truly make this country great: freedom of expression, overcoming obstacles through teamwork and a commitment to our communities.
In continuation of Norman’s centennial birthday, People For is also proud to be hosting a live celebratory virtual dance party on Saturday, October 1 at 6:30 PM ET (3:30 PM PT) that will feature award-winning musician and producer DJ D-Nice, an online art store, greetings from Norman’s friends, and a special message to viewers from Norman himself!
We also have a fun way for members to get involved in the dance party! If you’d like to share a fun memory of Norman, an example of how he’s had an impact on your life, or some other fun message you’d like to share with us, please record a video or audio message that we might share during the dance party! >>
So please join us by watching the ABC special tonight (which also will be available to stream on Hulu starting tomorrow), and for the dance party a week from Saturday as we celebrate Norman’s lasting impact on our lives and the nation.
With gratitude and hope for the future,
Ben Jealous
President
