Whitaker and McCain to Share Bigotry Stories

USA Network is busy this week securing Washington journos for an upcoming Newseum event called “A More Perfect Union: Stories of Prejudice and Power” on Wednesday, October 26th. The evening will feature five storytellers, including Oscar-Winner Forest Whitaker and blogger Meghan McCain, who will share a true tale of facing bigotry or discrimination and describe how the experience impacted their identity and outlook.

While Whitaker’s story is sure to involve race, McCain has experienced great scrutiny over the years about her weight.
