Random Samples with Brenda Wineapple

Brenda Wineapple is the author, most recently, of Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation, about the 1925 Scopes trial. This timely book was described by The New York Times as a tale framed much more interestingly than is typical “as a conflict between political visions that remain very much alive in the present” and by our own reviewer, Randy Moore, as “well-written and entertaining.” NCSE Executive Director Amanda L. Townley chats with Wineapple about her research into the Scopes trial and the trial's relevance today.
