Free Speech Activist Mary Beth Tinker flashes a peace sign at the Newseum on February 11, 2019. In 1969, Tinker won a landmark Supreme Court case against her school district which suspended her for wearing a black armband to school to protest the Vietnam War. The case set a precedent for student speech in schools.
