      <image:caption>In 1969, the Supreme Court expanded a speaker's rights under the First Amendment. The plaintiff in the case was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, who was defended by two ACLU lawyers, a Black woman and a Jewish man. This presentation considers the arguments in the Brandenburg decision and what led these two lawyers to defend Clarence Brandenburg.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Debating Our Rights - Brooks Memorial Library Events: Declaration of Independence and Social Movements 7/13/22</image:title>
      <image:caption>With its universal claims of equality and liberty, the Declaration of Independence established the principles of a free nation. Since its promulgation, abolitionists, suffragists, civil rights leaders and the Black Panther Party have relied on the principles of the Declaration to persuade the nation in the direction of liberty and equality. In the digital era, social movements are more likely to rely on retweets than first principles, protests instead of persuasion. This presentation considers what today’s social movements might learn from the Declaration’s playbook.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Good Clash - THE SUPREME COURT'S ROLE IN REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM</image:title>
      <image:caption>The rulings in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey may have delivered victories to the pro-choice movement but the decisions themselves galvanized the opposition. We’ll consider the pros and cons of using the federal courts to enact progressive legislation and what 50 years of judicial rule did to our democratic muscles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Good Clash - WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT ABORTION?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Supreme Court tried to resolve the abortion debate using novel constitutional reasoning. On the streets, the political arguments were couched in terms like “freedom” and “murder.” In between those two realms, a lot of people were thinking hard about abortion policy. We’ll consider the best arguments on both sides from the perspectives of libertarians, progressives, and conservatives (Yes, that will include prolife progressive arguments and prochoice conservative arguments.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Good Clash - WHAT DO WE NEED TO DELIBERATE WELL?</image:title>
      <image:caption>For this final presentation, we’ll consider two case studies. The first from Boston, circa 1990, when women on both sides of the abortion debate met to build trust after the assassinations at two abortion clinics. The second from Ireland where a predominantly Catholic country legalized abortion through citizen assemblies. We will consider what these two cases tell us about the capacities needed to co-exist vigorously.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Civic education is a continuing enterprise and conversation.” According to Chief Justice John Roberts, the judiciary teaches civics by providing reasons for their decisions. We teach each other when we use the Constitution to support our claims.</image:caption>
