THC 29: Paul Serup | The Lincoln Assassination & the Catholic Church
Ford's Theatre Bookstore and the Magdalene Laundries
Paul Serup recounts his failed attempts to get his book stocked at the Ford's Theatre and National Park Service bookstores, citing a lack of response as a form of soft censorship. The conversation then turns to the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, described as a system of institutionalized slavery for "fallen" women. Serup notes that the last of these Irish convent prisons did not close until 1996.
