An Evening with Jim DeFede

Jim DeFede, former New Times and The Miami Herald metro columnist,
covered the backwaters of Miami politics for many years and became a
clarion voice of justice, common sense, and passion in our
community. Don't miss this chance to meet Jim DeFede – Grand Marshal
of the King Mango Strut 2005 - up close and personal in a free-
flowing presentation about journalism, TV news and, most of all,
about what's going on in South Florida. You can ask any question,
but be prepared for the answer!

Culture in the City is an interactive and collaborative
organization, dedicated to bringing to South Florida the best of
art, literature and music, philosophy, science and the culinary
arts – with the social aspect of our participants in mind – through
weekly lectures and special events.  
Their goal is to inform and entertain with eye-opening, provocative
subjects. They plan to bring timely issues for discussion and debate and 
always consider evenings with active participation the best ones.
