Cowardice, Conformity, and the ACLU

A Ford Hall Forum event

C. Walsh Theatre, Suffolk University

"Suppression of dissent." "Self-censorship." "Cult of personality." While such problems are usually associated with corrupt dictatorships or dysfunctional corporations, Wendy Kaminer, lawyer, social critic, and former American Civil Liberties Union national board member, argues that they threaten the effectiveness of all institutions – including civil liberties groups. She joins Peter Kadzis, Executive Editor of The Boston Phoenix and political commentator on FOX25 News, to discuss the virtues of dissent and free speech, as well as the forces that pull organizations of all kinds away from these essential principles.

I want to go to this, but have another interesting event drawing me there, as well. Anyone want to convince me to go to Beantown by driving?
