Bad Brother: Religion and Politics by Loren Niemi

Are there parallels between the circumstances of late ‘60’s and our current social and political divisions?

That question is one of the considerations that underpins “Bad Brother: Religion and Politics.” Using the trial of the Milwaukee 14 as a fulcrum, Loren explores what it means to live in an America choosing sides around issues of war and peace, race and civil rights, and generational shifts in values and culture.
