As part of the ACLU's Centennial celebration, the writers Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon published the book Fight of the Century: Writers Reflect on 100 Years of Landmark ACLU Cases. The book features 40 writers with each writing a chapter about a different ACLU case. Beyond a simple rehash of the cases, the writers explore their own connections to the issues in the cases and how decades-old cases are still relevant in 2020. Ayelet and Michael took part in a book talk as part of the ACLU Centennial Pittsburgh celebration, and this episode features that conversation. ACLU-PA has teamed up with White Whale bookstore in Pittsburgh to sell signed copies of the book, with an online purchase option for people who don't live in Pittsburgh.
