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. As his generation retires from the barricades, Ira reminisces on his life at the forefront of defending the rights of all Americans, from civil rights leaders to neo-Nazis. His story takes us to his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, where in 1947 Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers broke the color barrier in baseball and inspired a generation of civil rights activists; to the offices of Robert Kennedy, where the U.S. Senator spoke with a young Ira and convinced him to take his first job with the ACLU; and to California, where a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor explains to Ira why he thinks the ACLU was wrong to defend the right of neo-Nazis to demonstrate near his home in Skokie, Illinois, over 40 years ago - and how recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, evoke painful memories. Amid high-profile controversies surrounding free speech, racial equality, and antisemitism - and on the occasion of the ACLU's centennial - Ira Glasser's story is as timely and provocative as ever.

This anger festered, leading him down a path of violence and rebellion. By the time he was a young man, George was consumed by a desire to hurt others, culminating in a plan to kill the evangelist Billy Graham during a 1959 crusade. Armed with zip guns, George and his gang infiltrated the crusade, intending to strike during the appeal. However, as Billy Graham spoke, George experienced an unexpected and profound inner turmoil. A voice questioned his presence there, and he felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort. As Graham's message of repentance and faith in Christ resonated through the crowd, George's hardened heart began to soften. In a moment of divine intervention, George found himself weeping uncontrollably, laying down his weapon, and running to the front in surrender. That night, nine out of the ten gang members, including George, experienced a radical transformation, embracing the faith they once despised. George's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love and forgiveness. It illustrates how even the most hardened hearts can be changed by the grace of God, turning a life of hatred into one of redemption and gratitude.
