Meet The Author Event - May 4: Harvey Ovshinsky
by Jeff Milo 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hello, I wanted to invite anyone who'd be interested in joining us for a Q&A session with Harvey Ovshinsky: writer, teacher, documentary film producer, & founder of one of America's oldest underground newspapers. Thursday, May 6 | 6:30 pm | via Zoom Sign up: https://tinyurl.com/fadlkho <https://tinyurl.com/fadlkho?fbclid=IwAR11R_jlCePqA-ITQ1hHto1zWtIbFvKaAePDBs…> https://www.facebook.com/events/283879456665288/ *Scratching the Surface: Adventures in Storytelling *details Harvey Ovshinsky's lifetime of adventures as an urban enthusiast. He was only seventeen when he started *The Fifth Estate *here in Detroit, one of the country's oldest underground newspapers. Five years later, he became one of the country's youngest news directors in commercial radio at WABX-FM, Detroit's revered progressive rock station. Ovshinsky was often in the crux of the nation's tumultuous counterculture of the 1960s and 70s, and he would go on to receive broadcasting's highest honors as a documentary filmmaker, including a national Emmy, a Peabody, and the American Film Institute's Robert M. Bennett Award for Excellence. Ovshinsky's memoir doubles as a survival guide and an instruction manual, speaking on the nature of and need for storytelling, but how the creative process requires both endurance and resilience.
