	Description:		Ian MacDougall, Senior Reporting Fellow at ProPublica, talks about his story for Harper’s Magazine, “Empty Suits: Defamation law and the price of dissent,” which investigates how corporations silence protesters through the legal system. MacDougall explores judicial intimidation, environmental racism, and the history of libel law through the story of "Black Belt Citizens Fighting for Health and Justice," a community organization in Alabama in an uphill battle to end the storage of coal ash at the local dump. This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
