Lawrence v. Texas Part 2 with Marcus McCann

"Times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress. As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom."

— Justice Anthony Kennedy

This week, Marcus McCann brings us to the end of our story of a few good men who challenged Texas' anti-sodomy law, and ended up changing the law of the land—and we ask what becomes of the people who bring the rest of us closer to freedom.
