The State of Free Speech in America: Voices from Various Walks of Life
In the current political climate, the First Amendment remains a pivotal element of American society. Amidst the backdrop of the Trump Administration, questions arise about whether the right to free speech is being upheld or altered. This was the central theme of discussions featured on The Sunday Story this week.
NPR’s Morning Edition co-host, Leila Fadel, collaborated with Ayesha Rascoe to explore this topic in depth. They engaged with a diverse set of voices, including teachers, students, pastors, and scientists, to understand their experiences and perspectives on free speech in today’s America. Some participants expressed a sense of empowerment, while others felt silenced.
The Sunday Story episode was produced by Justine Yan, with support from Taylor Haney and Kyle Gallego-Mackie. Liana Simstrom and Arezou Rezvani took charge of editing, and audio engineering was managed by James Willets.
