"Daniel Ellsberg’s leak of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 changed American history, exposing government secrets about the Vietnam War and sparking a national debate on truth, trust, and the role of the press. In this session, we’ll explore Ellsberg’s daring choice, the political and personal risks he faced, and how his story connects to modern whistleblowers. Through interactive polls, case challenges, and group discussion, you’ll wrestle with the same moral dilemmas Ellsberg faced and decide for yourself: when, if ever, is it right to break the rules for the greater good?"
