What you can't say at the Fourth of July parade

New rules for the Huntington Woods Fourth of July parade would limit signs to a group's name and logo — no message. A University of Michigan law clinic calls the rules unconstitutional and says the city tied them to the local Peace Group’s signs calling for a ceasefire in Gaza; the city didn't respond to The Metro’s request for comment.

Suhair Ghannam, who came to the U.S. from Nazareth at 20 and calls free speech the thing she treasures most about this country, joins Robyn Vincent to explain why the fight feels personal.
