Hate speech in the context of our national conversation around racial and social justice renews the question: How far should first amendment protection to freedom of speech extend? Public views on the issue are divided and answers to this question vary across the political spectrum. Join us for a panel discussion about the possibilities and limitations of regulating hate speech with legal scholar Geoffrey Stone, former ACLU president Nadine Strossen, and President of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative Mary Anne Franks.
This program is generously underwritten by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.

The composer Richard Wagner is both revered for his visionary operas and reviled for his anti-semitic writings. In Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music, Alex Ross details the composers wide-ranging influence across 150 years of art and culture. The New Yorker music critic and author of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Rest Is Noise traces the impact that art can have in the world, and explores the thorny question: How do we grapple today with an artist with such a many-sided and problematic legacy? Ross is joined by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra.
