Fired for Free Speech? The Case of San Antonio's Poet Laureate

View descriptionShare

Join Jenin and Vec, along with NCLA's Casey Norman, as they unpack the explosive case of Nephtalí De León, a celebrated Chicano writer and activist wrongfully terminated from his position as San Antonio’s poet laureate. NCLA has filed a Complaint against the City of San Antonio and city employee Krystal Jones, alleging De León's firing violated his First Amendment rights after he was defamed for a supposed "racial slur" in an elegy honoring a Chicano writer-activist.

Discover how the City’s actions not only tarnished De León’s reputation but also undermined his lifelong fight against racial injustice. Tune in to explore the legal battle to restore his good name and what this case means for free speech in America.
