Artists

The arts have been a vehicle for social change and political debate throughout history. And at the same time artistic expression has been subject to censorship and challenges by those who seek to suppress the debate. Artists, especially those who address social justice issues in their work, continue to see their First Amendment rights to create and present their work challenged in a variety of contexts.
