Free Speech, the First Amendment, and Parrhesia
Harvard Classics Lectures
No one has done more to shape legal interpretation of the first amendment than Floyd Abrams. Yet when Abrams litigated Citizens United, some proponents of free speech thought that this just gave big money the biggest voice. By contrast in ancient democratic Athens, parrhesia, free and frank speech, was thought to give voice to citizens who lacked power. Join Floyd Abrams and Matt Landauer and Yael Melamede in a conversation about the value of public speech and the relationship between free speech, equality and power, then and now. We will be screening excerpts from Yael Melamede’s 2023 documentary Floyd Abrams: Speaking Freely.
Organized by the Center for Hellenic Studies and the Department of the Classics.
