Hefner's Legacy of Enduring Free Speech and Free Press Values","description":"\u003cp\u003eHugh M. Hefner's legacy of enduring free speech and free press values is embodied in the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards, established in 1979, which honor leading First Amendment scholars and advocates. Hefner also had a lifelong interest in film censorship issues and supported teaching about them at the University of Southern California for 20 years.
