Columbia residents exercise First Amendment rights
Charles Dudley Jr. sits at what looks like a communication headquarters in the living room of his home in Paquin Tower. Dudley's living room is lined on two sides with tables that hold his computer, TV screen and several speakers. Being plugged into the Web is one way Dudley voices his opinions and exercises his freedom of speech.
'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.'
Exercising rights is a personal prerogative, as symbolized by these Columbia residents who are exercising the five freedoms embodied in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
