Description
Actor Henry Winkler was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 31. Since then, he has written a series of lauded children’s books that offer a funny and realistic look at life for a child who struggles with dyslexia. For amplifying important discussions about dyslexia and other issues that touch American lives, Winkler will receive the John P. McGovern Award from Smithsonian Associates. The award presentation highlights an evening in which he discusses his career and his path to stardom and how the issues and causes for which he advocates connect to his roles as an actor, author, comedian, producer, and director.
