(Library of Congress Exhibition). This exhibition demonstrates that many of the colonies that in
1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious
convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith
freely. That the religious intensity of the original settlers would diminish to some extent over time
was perhaps to be expected, but new waves of eighteenth century immigrants brought their own
religious fervor across the Atlantic and the nation's first major religious revival in the middle of
the eighteenth century injected new vigor into American religion.

- American Experience | Scottsboro: An American Tragedy
- In 1931, two white women stepped from a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train. So began one of the most significant legal fights of the twentieth century. The trial of the nine falsely accused teens would draw North and South into their sharpest conflict since the Civil War, yield two momentous Supreme Court decisions and give birth to the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to its historical significance, the Scottsboro story is a riveting drama about the struggles of nine innocent young men for their lives and a cautionary tale about using human beings as fodder for political causes.

- American Experience | Scottsboro: An American Tragedy
- In 1931, two white women stepped from a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama to make a shocking accusation: they had been raped by nine black teenagers on the train. So began one of the most significant legal fights of the twentieth century. The trial of the nine falsely accused teens would draw North and South into their sharpest conflict since the Civil War, yield two momentous Supreme Court decisions and give birth to the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to its historical significance, the Scottsboro story is a riveting drama about the struggles of nine innocent young men for their lives and a cautionary tale about using human beings as fodder for political causes.
