Explore legal challenges during the Vietnam War, focusing on free speech, protests, conscientious objectors, and the legality of war.
With anti-war protests raging on college campuses throughout the country, the time is right to revisit some of the epic legal battles that were fought over the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech, press, and religion during the Vietnam War era.
