The University of West Florida Reubin O’D. Askew Department of Government presents the Seligman First Amendment Lecture Series.

Join us Feb. 15 as Dr. Mark Graber presents, “Talking Insurrection."

Dr. Graber is a regents professor of government at the University of Maryland. He is recognized as one of the leading scholars in the country on constitutional law and politics. This talk will explore the scope of Section Three disqualification for insurrectionary speech in light of the predominant understandings of free speech and insurrection at the time Section Three was ratified.

The program will be held Feb. 15 at Voices of Pensacola, 117 E Government St, Pensacola. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. with the talk beginning at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and will be on a first-come basis.

This lecture series is made possible by a generous gift from the Jane G. and Fred K. Seligman Endowment. As a Jewish émigré from Nazi Germany in 1934, Fred Seligman cherished the freedoms protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
