2025 Annual Conference - 08/01/2025 to 08/03/2025 Wineapple is an award-winning historian. Her work is widely acclaimed and instantly accessible. She begins with a question she feels hasn’t been answered in a way that satisfies her – or hasn’t been asked at all. Much of her work focuses on events and figures from our past, contextualizing them in our present. This is true of her recent book, “KEEPING THE FAITH: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted America,” about the infamous Scopes monkey trial. That trial, often called “the trial of the century,” was not just a courtroom battle but a flashpoint in a broader cultural war – about science, religion, and education - that continues to reverberate in America today. bwineapple@earthlink.net |
