Freedom of speech may be the most widely known and valued First Amendment right, but lots of college students say they are afraid to share their views.  

Salon editor, HBO writer and New York Times bestselling Baltimore author D. Watkins isn’t. He wrote the book on speaking up, boldly sharing overlooked or forgotten voices. 

Bring your free speech questions to a free town hall with D. Watkins on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Calvin & Tina Tyler Ballroom in the Morgan State University Student Center.
