On Oct. 16, 2014, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., the Student Press Law Center will celebrate a big birthday. Please join us in commemorating 40 years of free legal aid to high school journalists, college journalists and educators everywhere. The event will kick off at 6 p.m.
NPR’s Audie Cornish will emcee the event, featuring keynote speaker Barton Gellman, part of the Washington Post‘s Pulitzer-winning NSA reporting team (and a former SPLC journalism intern). The evening will also celebrate the accomplishments of generations of young people who fought the good fight for campus accountability with SPLC’s help.
