We will commemorate Chicago’s long history as a hub of free speech with an afternoon of public debate, soapbox speeches, heckling, and music at this year’s Bughouse Square Debates. Bring your loudest heckling voice, mount the open soapbox, and keep free speech alive and well. Take it to the park this summer, on Saturday, July 27, 2013.
Learn more about what happens at the Bughouse Square Debates and browse past programs. If you would like to be part of the this year’s program, email your phone number and speech topic to programs@newberry.org.
