Free Speech Week Archive

Free Speech Week (FSW) is a yearly event to raise public awareness of the importance of freedom of speech and of the press in our democracy- and to celebrate that freedom. As freedom of speech and of the press are rights all Americans share, this non-partisan, non-ideological event is intended to be a unifying celebration.

Moody College faculty and students share their perspectives on various Free Speech topics in our "Free Speech Minute" videos below. Moody College undergraduate students are invited to participate in a video contest for cash prizes.
