Prohibition: Part 2

from HearSay with Cathy Lewis Hosted by WHRO Public Media

On Wednesday's program, we continue our month-long weekly series focused on filmmaker Ken Burns's latest documentary, "Prohibition." The program will air in October on WHRO-TV and tells the history of the rise and fall of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The saga of prohibition goes far beyond the oft-told tales of gangsters, rum runners, flappers and speakeasies. It is the story of unintended consequences and a nation divided by politics, religion, and individual rights and responsibilities.
