Mr. Lewis' book, Freedom for the Thought We Hate, has been hailed as "a stirring account of America's evolving idea of liberty" by Publisher's Weekly. A columnist for the New York Times op-ed page from 1969 through 2001, Mr. Lewis has been the James Madison Visiting Professor at Columbia University since 1983. His previous books are Gideon's Trumpet, Portrait of a Decade and Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment. Mr. Finan's latest book, From the Palmer Raids to the PATRIOT Act: A History of the Fight for Free Speech in America, was highly praised by critics. Library Journal said it "[c]ould be the definitive study of a perpetually complex, contentious issue." Both books will be sold courtesy of Joseph Fox Bookshop.
We hope you can join us for this exciting event!
