What is "free speech" and why is it important? Why did a Jewish lawyer defend the rights of Nazis to march in Skokie in the Supreme Court case that put Skokie on the map?

Learn about the "Skokie case" and the uses and limits of our First Amendment from David Goldberger, the former ACLU attorney who represented a group of Chicago-area Nazis who sought to hold a demonstration in downtown Skokie in 1977.

Understand censorship and the role of protests in civic life. Bring your questions!
