為了能夠解釋美國 2017 年的政治環境，美國公民自由聯盟執行董事，律師安東尼·羅梅羅回到了一個令人驚訝的地方——一幅 14 世紀由義大利文藝復興大師安布羅吉歐·洛倫澤蒂所做的壁畫。一幅 600 多歲的繪畫，對於今天的生活，能夠教給我們什麼？答案是，很多。羅梅羅在這場跟這幅繪畫一樣出色的演說中解釋了一切。

這就是現如今民主的樣子

Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union

Political turmoil in America echoes a 14th-century Italian fresco that dramatizes the effects of good and bad government. Scenes of prosperity or devastation fill Lorenzetti’s masterpiece, reminding viewers that justice and civic engagement shape national outcomes. After millions of Americans took to the streets following the 2016 election, the lessons of this ancient artwork feel urgent and personal. Real democracy relies on everyday people disrupting complacency, not just leaders in power.
