Ira Glasser is one of America’s unsung champions of civil rights and liberties. As the leader of the American Civil Liberties Union for 23 years, he transformed the organization from a small, “mom-and-pop” operation on the verge of bankruptcy into a civil liberties juggernaut with offices in every state and a $30 million endowment. Amid high-profile controversies surrounding free speech, racial equality, and anti-Semitism, Glasser’s story is as timely and provocative as ever. RogerEbert.com writes, “Glasser’s life is chock full of fascinating stories that he’s pleased to share with anyone who might benefit from them.”
