The Great Textbook War

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

In 1974, during the most turbulent schoolbook boycott in U.S. history, schools were bombed and buses hit with sniper fire in Kanawha County, West Virginia because local community members objected to works by authors like Eldridge Cleaver and Allen Ginsberg. Studio 360's Trey Kay looks into the literature that triggered it all. Kay's Peabody Award-winning hour-long documentary will be distributed by American RadioWorks.
