The University’s Miller Center will host Khizr Khan on Nov. 1 for a public dialogue about his role as a Muslim-American public figure during this year’s presidential election.

Khan, a Charlottesville resident and father of late University alumnus Capt. Humayun Khan, became a national public figure after delivering a speech at the Democratic National Convention in support of Hillary Clinton.
....

Douglas Blackmon, director of public programs and host of the Miller Center’s show “American Forum,” said he anticipates the dialogue with Khan will receive a substantial amount of local attention, as well as a greater national audience. The event will be livestreamed over Facebook due to the notoriety Khan gained after his speech at the convention.
....

The event will take place at Old Cabell Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1. It is open to the public, and admission is free, although tickets for entry will only be given that day on a first-come, first-served basis.
