Exploring Controversial Cases of Hate Speech, Protest, and Violence

Peter Afrasiabi reviews the history of free speech protections in the United States — from famous cases involving flag burning, Nazi marches and anti-war protests — and carries it through to present day controversies including cyberstalks who send messages threatening violence and former President Donald Trump who made statements targeting protesters at a campaign rally.
