This week's America's Founding Series tells the powerful story of James Otis Jr., the forgotten patriot whose fiery words helped ignite the American Revolution. Otis risked his career and safety by challenging the British Crown's abuse of power and defending the right to speak freely against tyranny. His fearless courtroom arguments, the brutal attack that silenced him, and the inspiration he gave to John Adams show why the Founders believed free speech and open debate were the lifeblood of liberty. From colonial Boston to today's battles over free expression, this episode reveals why protecting the right to speak truth remains essential to America's survival.
