Event Description

In 1974, Alice Moore, a minister's wife and an elected member of the Kanawha County School board, Charleston, WV, was the first person to alert Kanawha citizens and churches to the problem of controversial textbooks and supplementary materials containing: historic revisionism; material with violence, death; profanity; sexually explicit materials; atheistic attacks on the Bible (calling it mythology); New Age and secular humanism, just to name a few. The protesters correctly understood that their values were under siege and that their children would be forced to read books with content that was contrary to their traditional family values. It has been called the first salvo in the culture war.
…
For almost forty years, these protesters have been maligned and ridiculed. In an effort to set the record straight about their courageous work in West Virginia, Exodus Mandate has planned a ceremony to offer the unvarnished story of the heroism and fortitude of the people who managed to shut down the coal industry in order to be heard.
