## Resource

A viral moment at an America 250 event raises disturbing historical and moral questions. Did a prominent speaker really defend the Salem witch trials? We examine exactly what was said, correct the historical record, expose the factual and logical errors, and consider the troubling implications of minimizing one of America's greatest miscarriages of justice. More than three centuries later, Salem still has something to teach us—if we're willing to listen.
