Ira Glasser is one of Americas unsung champions of civil rights and liberties As the leader of the American Civil Liberties Union for 23 years he transformed the organization from a small momandpop operation on the verge of bankruptcy into a civil liberties juggernaut with offices in every state and a 30 million endowment As his generation retires from the barricades Ira reminisces on his life at the forefront of defending the rights of all Americans from civil rights leaders to neoNazis His story takes us to his hometown of Brooklyn New York where in 1947 Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers broke the color barrier in baseball and inspired a generation of civil rights activists to the offices of Robert Kennedy where the US Senator spoke with a young Ira and convinced him to take his first job with the ACLU and to California where a 96yearold Holocaust survivor explains to Ira why he thinks the ACLU was wrong to defend the right of neoNazis to demonstrate near his home in Skokie Illinois over 40 years ago and how recent events in Charlottesville Virginia evoke painful memories Amid highprofile controversies surrounding free speech racial equality and antisemitism and on the occasion of the ACLUs centennial Ira Glassers story is as timely and provocative as ever
