Ian Rosenberg and Mike Cavallaro join Justin Soderberg this week on Capes and Tights to discuss their Free Speech Handbook graphic novel.
Free Speech Handbook draws on parallels between 10 seminal Supreme Court cases and current events, Free Speech Handbook creates a practical framework for understanding our free speech protections. The book will be released on November 30, 2021.
The art mixed with talented writing allows for a great way to introduce the subject of free speech to those who don’t want to sit down and read a couple hundred page book with just text.
Be sure to pre-order your copy of the Free Speech Handbook today from Amazon.com or visit freespeechhandbook.com!
