First Things First: A Discussion with Texas v. Johnson Defendant Joey Johnson on the First Amendment, Protest, & the Rule of Law
Join ACS for a discussion with Joey Johnson, the defendant in the seminal flag-burning case Texas v. Johnson. In conversation with SLS Professor and First Amendment scholar Evelyn Douek, Johnson will be discussing his story, the Johnson case, and his reflections on the Trump administration’s executive order purporting to criminalize flag burning. Given the likelihood that flag burning will soon again be before the Supreme Court, there is no better time to discuss the past, present, and future of the freedom to protest.
Joey Johnson will be joining us via Zoom. Lunch will be provided.
