ACLU SOCAL PRESENTS | FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

The American Civil Liberties Union, the premier defender of the rights and freedoms of US citizens, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, Second Home has teamed up with ACLU Southern California to host a discussion between prize-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman and ACLU SoCal Executive Director Hector Villagra.

The authors will be talking about Fight of the Century, their curated anthology of essays about landmark ACLU cases written by bestselling and award-winning authors, including Neil Gaiman, Marlon James, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Salman Rushdie, Elizabeth Strout, Jesmyn Ward and Meg Wolitzer. Fight of the Century shows how pivotal legal battles, many fought by underdogs, have advanced civil right and social justice in the US, so this is very a timely and important piece of work.

It’s free to join the Zoom discussion but you’ll need to register first.
