Welcome and thank you for visiting the Lives of Liberty webpage.

Lives of Liberty profiles will commemorate distinguished DeSilver Society members who are no longer with us. It is our honor and privilege to recognize these long-time champions and highlight their deep connection to the ACLU. We remain grateful for their life-long support of the ACLU and our mission to protect for all people the freedom and rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

DeSilver Society members are those individuals who have transformed their passion for civil liberties into sustained commitment to the ACLU, both fundamentally and financially.

In recognition of her devotion and activism towards the preservation of civil and human rights, we chose to honor Dorothy Epstein as the inaugural profile in this section on the extraordinary lives of DeSilver Society members.
