Routledge Speaking Our Minds: First Amendment Cases - Oral History

Speaking Our Minds offers an in-depth exploration of landmark First Amendment litigation through personal interviews with the people who shaped these pivotal cases. Author Joseph Russomanno conducted extensive interviews with key figures behind cases including Tinker, R.A.V., Ollman, Hustler-Falwell, Reno-ACLU, and Nebraska Press Association, presenting their stories in an oral history format unavailable elsewhere. This Routledge Communication Series book goes beyond the surface details of ten major cases from the latter part of the 20th century, answering the "why" and "how" behind contemporary First Amendment law. Readers gain unprecedented insight into how these influential cases unfolded and shaped American constitutional law through the voices of those directly involved.
