While civil liberties need our vigilance even in normal times, these freedoms and protection are especially endangered when national security fears threaten to erode the rights and civil liberties guaranteed by our Constitution. A panel, including representatives from communities whose circumstances make the protection of these rights imperative, will discuss the erosion of civil liberties in the wake of 9/11 and under the current war-like mood of the country.
