Pass The Mic Tour !!!



Tavis Smiley, Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West will sweep across the country from December 10-19 for an historic, six-city speaking tour called Pass The Mic! The energetic power trio of outspoken Black thought leaders will bring a special, two-hour program of information and inspiration to thousands in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore*, Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit.

In the dynamic, "come-on-down" spirit of both old time church gatherings and contemporary poetry slams, Pass The Mic! will bring Smiley, Dyson and West together live onstage for an evening of thought provoking, interactive talks and discussions.

There will be a different theme or "flava" for each tour stop, from leadership and politics to religion and love. Smiley, Dyson and West will take turns at the microphone before passing it around and giving people in the audience a chance to speak up and shout out!

Smiley, Dyson and West, academic and media personalities, appear regularly on Smiley's daily radio program, The Tavis Smiley Show from NPR. Taking place just in time to usher in the December holidays and the New Year, Pass The Mic! kicks off Smiley's third season on NPR and inaugurates the premiere season of his new PBS program, Tavis Smiley, which debuts on January 5, 2004
