The ACLU: 100 Years of Fighting for Rights in America
![Jese Leos](https://bestseller.deedeebook.com/author/donald-ward.jpg)
The ACLU's History
The ACLU was founded by a group of activists who were concerned about the suppression of free speech and other civil liberties during World War I. The organization's first major victory came in 1925, when it successfully defended the right of a socialist newspaper to publish anti-war articles.
Over the years, the ACLU has fought for a wide range of civil liberties, including:
- The right to free speech
- The right to a fair trial
- The right to privacy
- The right to vote
- The right to equal protection under the law
The ACLU has also fought against discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and other factors.
