After publicly burning an American flag as a means of political protest, Gregory Lee Johnson (defendant) was convicted by the State of Texas (plaintiff) for desecrating a flag in violation of Texas law. Johnson challenged his conviction in state court on the grounds that the law violated his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction, and the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.
