Wall of Separation
Thomas JeffersonMost Americans assume that the First Amendment prevents the mixing of politics and religion. Just what was the view of the Founding Fathers on this issue? Where did the "wall of separation" metaphor come from? And how did its meaning evolve into what we consider it today? These are questions that this program explores, with historical storytelling and scholarly interviews on both sides of the issue.
