(American Civil Liberties Union)
Civil Liberty
(NY), (ACLU), (1920). A position statement issued by the American Civil Liberties Union in the year of its founding. Covers free speech, free press, freedom of assemblage, the right to strike, law enforcement, search and seizure, fair trial, immigration, education, and race equality. One sheet folded to make four pages; rear page sunned; minor edge wear; small stamp of the Swarthmore College Peace Collection (duplicate) in upper margin. A seminal document, which borrows heavily from the U.S. Constitution, by implication pointing out that constitutionally guaranteed liberties need protection beyond their being asserted in writing. Very good.
