Outspoken: Chicago's Free Speech Tradition is an exhibit about the principles that unite Americans and the conflicts that divide them. From the anti-slavery groups of the 1840s to the gay pride celebrations of the 1970s, from the 1968 Democratic Convention to the recent protests against the war in Iraq, Chicago has been a vibrant center for free speech and activism.
