Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is set to speak Tuesday at the Tivoli Theatre, and organizers expect a large local reception, especially on the heels of the election.
More than 1,000 people are likely to attend, said Amy Carmichael, a spokeswoman for the event.
“It’s pretty timely,” she said. “He’ll have a lot to say about the election.”
The visit, which is part of the George T. Hunter Lecture Series, is funded by the Benwood Foundation and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The event is free and open to the public. Friedman’s speech will begin at 7 p.m., but a line is expected to form long before then.
