Freedom for the Thought That We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment is the latest book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author Anthony Lewis. Lewis’ book traces the origins of the First Amendment making ... (more)a case for the importance of freedom of expression, even speech we “hate”. As Americans, we are privileged with more freedom of speech rights than any other country. We are free to say and write what we think. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution. While Lewis strongly defends the right to free speech he also recognizes that the same right to speak freely can be in direct conflict with equally basic rights such as the right to privacy or justice. What better location to engage in a First Amendment discuss than the Freedom Museum whose mission is to educate the public on their First Amendment rights?

Disambiguation NoticeAnthony Lewis (born March 27, 1927), author and newspaper columnist, is not the same person as the children's book author. Combine with…What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if the disambiguation notice is wrong? A: Go ahead and edit it. Become a member to do this. |
