Join the Freedom Forum to dig into the ages-long tension between free expression and difficult or contrarian voices with Jacob Mchangama, author of the new book, “Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media.”
See why the free exchange of even challenging ideas is essential for democratic nations. Mchangama’s definitive account of free speech from the ancient world to the digital age shows why defending it is so critical today.
Mchangama is the founder and executive director of the Danish think tank Justitia and host of the podcast, “Clear and Present Danger: A History of Free Speech.”
This program will premiere Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. Eastern on our YouTube channel.
