Join us for our summer discussion series, "Who's on First?": What's Up with the First Amendment? Each week we'll focus on one of the freedoms enumerated in the Constitution. We'll talk about various Supreme Court decisions and the different ways these rights have been interpreted, in the past and in the present. We'll hash them out for ourselves, and decide what the Supreme Court got right and what they got wrong. Level up your citizenship game with us at Lincoln Library.
*The August event will be on the third Tuesday of the month, August 19th.*
