Description
In the United States, all citizens have certain rights and freedoms. The government cannot limit or take these freedoms away. But not everyone has always had these freedoms. Throughout history, many groups had to fight for equal rights. And as the country has changed, efforts to protect people's rights have also changed. Individual Rights and Liberties explores these freedoms, looking at how people interpret and understand them.

"In 1931, nine teenagers were arrested as they traveled on a train through Scottsboro, Alabama. The youngest was thirteen, and all had been hoping to find something better at the end of their journey. But they never arrived. Instead, two white women falsely accused them of rape. The effects were catastrophic for the young men, who came to be known as the Scottsboro Boys. Being accused of raping a white woman in the Jim Crow south almost certainly...

Throughout her long career of "afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted," the cause closest to Molly Ivins's heart was protecting the freedoms we all value. Sadly, today we're living in a time when dissent is equated with giving aid to terrorists, when any of us can be held in prison without even knowing the charges against us, and when our constitutional rights are being interpreted by a president who calls himself "The Decider." Ivins...

1968: in that single year, MLK and RFK were assassinated, Chicago rioted, Nixon triumphed, and Tet exploded. The top music acts were the Beatles, the Doors, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye.

And I've never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation. Luckily, none of that really...
