DESCRIPTION:
America has come a long way in securing the right to free speech outlined in the Constitution: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.”
In the 1950s, as “pulp fiction” novels rose in popularity – short, trashy novels featuring suggestive and risqué content – calls for the government to regulate “obscene” content escalated, and the government did just that.
But it took a few brave authors and social critics to risk jail time and ostracization to push the envelope, resulting in crucial wins for free expression and changes to legal definitions of obscenity.
In today’s climate, where freedom of expression remains largely unhampered yet calls for its restriction seem to be increasing, the 50s should serve as a reminder for why we shouldn’t regress in our tolerance of “objectionable” expression.
