Webinar Information
Prof. Mark David Hall reviews how and why Ten Commandments monuments were placed on public property in the 1950s within the context of significant Supreme Court cases involving Ten Commandments and other religious symbols/language on public property, including Stone v. Graham (1980), Van Orden v. Perry (2005), McCreary County v. ACLU (2005), and American Legion v. American Humanist Association (2019). He looks at these cases and how they may best be understood in light of the Supreme Court's more recent history and tradition test and what may lie in store for such cases today.
