Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The American Civil Liberties Union at 100

Mark the 100th anniversary of the American Civil Liberties Union with a discussion that digs into a century of struggles to define and protect American freedoms, past, present, and future. Ellis Cose, the ACLU's first ever writer-in-residence and author of the sweeping retrospective "Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The ACLU’s 100-Year Fight for Rights in America," traces the history of the organization and its fight to preserve fundamental rights through some of the country's most turbulent periods: The Red Scare, World War II, McCarthysim, post-9/11, and more. This conversation is led by Emerson Sykes, staff attorney at the ACLU and host of the "At Liberty" podcast.
