An introduction to the great freedom and power that comes with our constitutional First Amendment rights.
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.
Attorney and educator Allison Matulli’s sparse, clear text accompanies Edel Rodriguez’s evocative art, yielding a memorable commentary on the privilege of being an American.
