Keynote Address: Digging Up History: Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases and Buried Truths with Professor Hank Klibanoff, Professor of Practice at Emory University, Presidential appointee to the U.S. Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board, and Director of the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project at Emory.
Hank Klibanoff is a professor of practice in the Emory University Creative Writing Program in Atlanta, where he teaches nonfiction writing.

In 2006 he and his co-author, Gene Roberts, won the Pulitzer Prize in history for their book, The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle and the Awakening of a Nation. Klibanoff is also the creator and host of Buried Truths, a narrative history podcast produced by WABE (NPR) in Atlanta. The podcast (https://apple.co/33XvDkL) is drawn from the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project (coldcases.emory.edu), which Klibanoff directs and teaches at Emory. Buried Truths has won Peabody, Robert F. Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow and American Bar Association Silver Gavel awards. In Spring 2021, Klibanoff was nominated by President Joe Biden and later won Senate confirmation to the newly created Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board. He was elected into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2022.
