“It’s so exciting to open the first permanent addition to the NCC’s core exhibit since we opened 20 years ago,” said center president and CEO Jeffrey Rosen. “The gallery is so inspiring in bringing to life the history of the five freedoms of the First Amendment and why they matter so urgently today through personal stories, artifacts, and interactives.”Depending on how you enter the gallery, this will probably be the first exhibit you see.
Among the artifacts are a draft of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis’ famous opinion in the Whitney v. California case, and an inscribed pen gifted to socialist and trade unionist Eugene V. Debs.
