                                                                       **TAVIS**SMILEY**

                                                                             **AUTHOR**

**Tavis Smiley**
is an American talk show host, author, liberal political commentator, entrepreneur, advocate and philanthropist.
**Smiley was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, and grew up in Bunker Hill, Indiana.

 

**From his celebrated conversations with world figures to his work to inspire the next generation of leaders, Tavis Smiley — broadcaster, author, publisher, advocate, and philanthropist — has emerged as an outstanding voice for change.
**Smiley is currently the host of the late-night television talk show Tavis Smiley on PBS,
as well as The Tavis Smiley Show from Public Radio International (PRI),
and the daily online radio program,
Tavis Talks, on the Tavis Smiley Network (TSN) on BlogTalk Radio.

 

**In addition to his radio and television work, Smiley has written 16 books.
**His memoir, What I Know for Sure: My Story of Growing Up in America,
became a New York Times best seller,
and the book he edited, Covenant with Black America,
became the first nonfiction book by a Black-owned publisher
to reach #1 on The New York Times best-sellers list.

**In his latest New York Times best seller, The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto, Smiley and his co-author Dr. Cornel West challenge all Americans to re-examine their assumptions about poverty in America
— what it really is and how to eradicate it.

**His forthcoming text to be published in September 2014 is
Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Final Year.
**
In the book, Smiley recounts the little known story of the denunciations by the press, rejection from the president,
dismissal by the country’s Black elite and militant youth,
assaults on his character, ideology and political tactics —
all of which MLK had to rise above in the final year of his life in order
to lead and address the racism, poverty and militarism that threatens,
even still, to destroy our democracy.

**Smiley was the presenter and creative force behind AMERICA I AM:
The African American Imprint.
**This unprecedented traveling museum exhibition, which debuted in January 2009, toured the country for four years,
celebrating the extraordinary impact of African American contributions to our nation and the world,
as told through rare artifacts, memorabilia and multimedia.
**Many of the artifacts Smiley discovered and displayed during the AMERICA I AM tour are now on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution.

**Smiley’s most gratifying accomplishments are rooted in his passion to inspire the next generation of leaders.
**The nonprofit Tavis Smiley Foundation has provided leadership training and development for America’s youth.
**Since its inception, more than 6,500 young people have participated in the foundation’s Youth to Leaders training workshops and conferences.
**The Foundation recently announced a $3 million four-year campaign called ENDING POVERTY:
America’s Silent Spaces to alleviate endemic poverty in America. 

**His communications company, The Smiley Group, Inc., is dedicated to supporting human rights and related empowerment issues
and serves as the holding company for various enterprises encompassing broadcast and print media, lectures, symposiums, book publishing, and the Internet.

**Smiley’s achievements have earned him numerous awards and honorary doctorate degrees, including one from his alma mater, Indiana University.
**In 2009, Indiana University named the atrium of its School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) building
**“The Tavis Smiley Atrium.” Smiley is also the recipient of the prestigious Du Bois Medal from Harvard University and the 2009 Interdependence Day Prize from Demos in Istanbul, Turkey.
**TIME magazine has honored Smiley as one of “The World’s 100 Most Influential People.”
**The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recently announced that Smiley will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, April 24, 2014.
