JOIN US! JUNE 17, 2025
On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, American Public Square, the National WWI Museum and Memorial and the Kansas First Amendment Foundation will present the second program of the Civility Examined series.
This conversation will explore how free expression has been challenged, protected, and politicized by both political parties—on college campuses, within Congress, in international forums, and across an increasingly polarized public square. The program will also examine free speech within the Trump administration and the broader implications for democratic institutions at home and abroad.
APS is pleased to share that author, attorney and legal scholar, Jonathan Turley, will participate in the panel discussion. Additional panelist invites are pending.
Stick Around for the Taps at the Tower After Party! A short reception will take place AFTER the program (at approximately 7:45 p.m.) as guests are invited to join the Museum’s Taps at the Tower event at sunset (8:45 p.m.). This gives participants an opportunity to gather at the Liberty Memorial Tower and experience Taps being played during a brief, moving ceremony. Learn more.
