The case of Texas vs. Johnson:
In 1984 in the month of august the case started in Dallas. When the party gathered to nominate Press. Ronald Reagan as their candidate in that year's presidential election.
Gregory Lee Johnson was a part of a group that had gathered to protest Reagan's campaign, doused an American flag with kerosene and put it on fire in front of the Dallas City Hall.
He was then arrested for violating Texas's state law that prohibited desecration of the U. S. flag and eventually was convicted as well; he was fined for what he had done and sentenced to one year in jail.
Although his conviction subsequently was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. It is the state's highest appeals court for criminal cases. It stated that symbolic speech was protected by the First Amendment.
