First Amendment Week – The First Amendment: Past! Present. Future?
Gene Policinski and Judith King
Monday, 11 Apr 2005 at 7:00 pm – Campanile Room, Memorial Union
Gene Policinski, executive director of the First Amendment Center, Michael Kent Curtis, law professor at Wake Forest, and Judith Krug, executive director of the Office of Intellectual Freedom for the American Library Association, will discuss how the First Amendment has been the foundation of our nation's freedom, and how that freedom is endangered by today's lack of education about this founding principle of our democracy.
Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.
Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
Lecture Etiquette

- Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
- Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
