"We wouldn't have freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly if the cornerstone of our democracy wasn't free speech," said Alaine Arnott, president and CEO of the museum located in Old City.
Visitors to each of the three exhibitions in the series are able to explore the past, present and enduring promise of this fundamental right through a neutral lens, beginning with Free Speech: Our Right, Our Responsibility, an interactive and multimedia exploration of free speech that invites visitors to consider its significance and why it can be a contentious and polarizing topic in an era of loud voices, online cancel culture and protests.
