And so it's, you know, that's why it's around 1925 that we get, you know, Gitlo v. New York, which is really the post-war test case, right?
And it's also, you know, that I think it's that all these circumstances that influence that Supreme Court decision that eventually incorporates the First Amendment.
So the civil rights era, if we think of the 1950s into the 1970s, the defining feature of the civil rights movement is public action.
And public speech.
The civil rights movement provides new tests, in a sense, for this new ways of thinking about the First Amendment that came out of the First World War and the earlier part of the century.
The civil rights movements are really going to take these new understandings of the limited limits on the new First Amendment.
Mm-hmm.
And really take advantage of those and put them to the test.
Yeah.
In some sense, it's sort of the cultural version of incorporation.
Yeah.
Right.
And you see.
So part of the way that that manifests itself is, you know, if we think of the First Amendment and the right to peacefully assemble and you think about people watching civil rights protesters in the South in the early 60s, you know, with fire hoses being turned on them and being attacked by police officers, that is really an affront.
To many, for this new way of thinking about the First Amendment.
Right?
And so not only did the civil rights movement really take this new First Amendment and utilize it for their cause, but in doing so, they actually spread these new cultural conceptions around the First Amendment that ended up strengthening it longer term.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I don't know if I would say free for all.
I mean, we still have a limit.
