Description

Though lately a certain Texan has had us associating the word freedom with wire tap, the freedoms addressed at this new museum are of the more traditional variety. First amendments rights are the focus, with interactive exhibits that make a run through history, from the Declaration of Independence to recent debates over war protests. One display lets you make decisions on supreme court cases, while another lets you browse through symbols or listen to music that was once banned.
