@Hercules2345 - thanks so much for your kind words about the film, and about Vashti McCollum. She is indeed an American hero.

Outstanding! I really enjoyed this episode on PBS. Every American should know about this very significant bit of American history. We came too close to allowing the establishment clause to be rendered almost worthless - special thanks to the brave woman, Vashti McCollum after failing twice in court but, winning it all in the Supreme Court to set the stage for the future. Phew! I was a nervous wreck there for awhile until the end - LOL
