Two Generations of Youth Activism

The ACLU of Ohio is hosting a discussion on the important role youth play in protecting civil liberties.

Date: Thursday, May 8
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Max Wohl Civil Liberties Center, 4506 Chester Ave., Cleveland

Join iconic symbol of youth activism Mary Beth Tinker and current youth activist Jonathan Lykes for a discussion of the importance of young people being involved.
Tinker fought for her rights to freedom of speech and expression in the precedent setting case Tinker v. Des Moines in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that students retained these rights while in school.
Lykes is a student at Shaw High School who helped found Youth Voices for Justice, a statewide action group that promotes student political activism. He is also the winner of the 2008 National ACLU Youth Activist Award.

This event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available.
