Our final stop of the day was the Freedom Museum, dedicated to a discussion of what, precisely, is the definition and implications of the First Amendment. More interactive displays allow visitors to decide where they fell on certain censorship cases (involving music, books, protests and more) and compare their answers to previous visitors.

Guests were also encouraged to make a ten second video responding to the question of your choice; Plucky Survivors picked "The greatest threat to freedom is..." (our answer; that everyone seems to have a different definition of the word, and that many consider it an object rather than a concept), thus joining the likes of Donald Rumsfeld, Jimmy Carter, and our New Best Friend Barack Obama, who had previously done the same. It was an excellent way to finish up our latest epic trip.
