In its ongoing quest for the true spirit of liberty, the ACLU has championed the cause for individual rights for the past 80 years.

American Civil Liberties Union: A History follows the ACLU through legal battles that include the Scopes trial, Japanese internment, blacklisting, and the Vietnam war crimes trials. It has fought for freedom of expression and the rights of minorities, angering many political groups in the process. Commentators include Oliver North, Dave Barry, and Molly Ivins. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
