This book makes first amendment issues immediate and contemporary. When Freedom Speaks chronicles the stories behind our First Amendment right to speak our minds. Lynn Levine Greenky's background as a lawyer, rhetorician, and teacher gives her a unique perspective on the protection we have from laws that abridge our right to the freedom of speech. Rhetoricians focus on language and how it influences perception and moves people to action. Powerfully employing that rhetorical approach, this book explores concepts related to free speech as moral narratives that proscribe the boundaries of our constitutionally protected right. Using the characters and drama embedded in legal cases that elucidate First Amendment principles, When Freedom Speaks makes the concepts easier to understand and clearly applicable to our lives. With a wide range of examples and accessible language, this book is the perfect overview of the First Amendment.

Manjani Jackson is a mouthy, New York teenager, who is ready for a revolution. Little does she know it takes more than passion and strong words to make change.When tragedy lands her at an all white school, she must defend her people's honor, even if she must stand alone. But in doing so, things get out of hand and she ends up on the run. Manjani lands at the one place she thought she could call home -- Black Nationalist Academy -but she isn't ready for what she experiences as a souljah-in-training. With new experiences with her comrades, more of who she really is unfolds, her loyalty and intentions are questioned, and allies become enemies.For the first time, Manjani is not sure if she is really meant to be a revolutionary or if liberation is worth everything she has to go through and give up. Only tough love, spiritual revelations, and self-determination will help her find her place in the struggle.

Most American historians and legal scholars incorrectly assume that controversies and litigation about free speech began abruptly during World War I. However, there was substantial debate about free speech issues between the Civil War and World War I. Important free speech controversies, often involving the activities of sex reformers and labor unions, preceded the Espionage Act of 1917. Scores of legal cases presented free speech issues to Justices Holmes and Brandeis. A significant organization, the Free Speech League, became a principled defender of free expression two decades before the establishment of the ACLU in 1920. World War I produced a major transformation in American liberalism. Progressives who had viewed constitutional rights as barriers to needed social reforms came to appreciate the value of political dissent during its wartime repression. They subsequently misrepresented the prewar judicial hostility to free speech claims and obscured prior libertarian defenses of free speech based on commitments to individual autonomy.
