Reviews for First Freedoms: A Documentary History of First Amendment Rights in America

""All high school libraries and university libraries should purchase this book. Highly Recommended.""--Library Media Connection, starred review ""In light of the fact that there is a federal mandate that all schools, elementary through university level, teach about the Constitution on September 17, Constitution Day, this book will be very valuable. There is a wealth of information and primary documents concerning the origins and attacks on the First Amendment. The various documents go from the Charter of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1663 through the Patriot Act of 2001. Thirty-seven different documents are thoroughly discussed in this book. Pictures, newspaper articles, pamphlets, and more are presented. There is a timeline showing all types of events concerning freedoms. The authors have presented readers with an excellent bibliography, which is broken down into the various types of freedoms. All high school libraries and university libraries should purchase this book. Highly Recommended.""--Patricia Brown, March 2007 Library Media Connection, starred review ""This book will be very valuable.There is a wealth of information and primary documents."" -- Library Media Connection (Starred Review)
