Jemele Hill, former ESPN journalist who now writes for The Atlantic, headlined Tuesday night’s Norm Brewer First Amendment Lecture Series at the University of Memphis UC Ballroom. If you weren’t there, here are snippets (thanks to social media) of what you missed from Hill’s day on the U of M campus, part of which she spent with students in the Department of Journalism and Strategic Media.
In my exclusive for the @DailyHelmsman with @jemelehill I had to joke with her about the possibility of IU playing Michigan St and potentially beating them for a third time this year — in all seriousness we spoke about journalism, utilizing your platform and so much more pic.twitter.com/Wxnkbu80F6

Tonight's Norm Brewer First Amendment Lecture by @jemelehill reminded us of many things about free speech. Free speech informs, challenges, exposes, provokes, disputes, and engages. But most importantly, it fuels democratic process.
