The First Amendment to the Constitution protects our rights to religion, press, speech, assembly, and petition. In the changing political and cultural climate, it is not always clear what actions and statements are protected and which are considered censorship, hate speech, or illegal gatherings and forms of redress. In his presentation geared towards the general public, Maxwell will guide the audience through the First Amendment and what it means in these modern times followed by an interactive discussion with participants.
The First Amendment Museum, in Augusta, is a nonpartisan nonprofit entity dedicated to promoting the understanding and use of the First Amendment in order to advance democracy so that all may reap the benefits.
