Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted the Nation
In this collaboration between HFFC and WSHU radio, Brenda Wineapple, historian and author of The 100th Anniversary of the Scopes Trial and Its Relevance to History offers new insights into the Scopes Monkey trial and the cultural divisions within American society then and today. The teaching of evolution is still being challenged in schools - check out Wikipedia's state-by-state review here. Wineapple's book is one of the Chicago Tribune's Ten Best Books of the Year, and named as the New Yorker Best Book of the Year.
"Keeping the Faith is a terrific story about a pivotal moment in our history and a book that illuminates the conflicts we are seeing in our country today."
- Ken Burns
