The First Amendment guarantees the right of free speech to all Americans. But is hate speech protected? Should it be? And what constitutes hate speech – different groups seem to have very different definitions. These questions and more will be examined at “Free Speech vs. Hate Speech: An Ithaca Conversation,” part of the Dinner Conversation Series at the Just Be Cause Center, hosted by the Ithaca Coalition for Unity and Cooperation in the Middle East (ICUCME), a local non-profit founded in 2015.
The evening will feature a vegetarian potluck, staged readings, and small group discussions. All are welcome.
