Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is pleased to host a traveling exhibit by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) titled “Faces of Liberty.” The exhibit is displayed on the second floor of the law school, outside of the William Randolph Hearst Public Advocacy Center.
The “Faces of Liberty” exhibit is an educational project that features photo-journal display of black and white photographs and accompanying text that connects human faces with complex civil liberty issues. The exhibit documents 22 stories of men and women, boys and girls, who have stood up for their beliefs often in the face of great adversity. These are people who, in defense of their civil liberties, have been helped by the NYCLU.
The exhibit will be featured at Touro Law Center through the month of September. NYCLU is a non-partisan organization that serves as the state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union. The organization has an office in Touro Law Center’s Public Advocacy Center.
