We Are Free: Our First Amendment Rights

Description: An introduction to the great freedom and power that comes with America's constitutional First Amendment rights, just in time for the U.S.A.'s 250th anniversary!

Free is a word that comes with great power.
We are free, we are that power.

The First Amendment gives us many rights as Americans--from the freedom to practice any religion (or no religion) to the freedom to look the way we want to look. It gives us the right to disagree, to speak up, and to stand up for what we believe in. But not everyone in the world has these rights--or these freedoms.

From attorney and educator Allison Matulli comes a memorable commentary on the privilege and opportunity of being an American, with freedoms granted by the First Amendment.
