The Kentucky Faith and Public History Education Project provides and produces resources about Kentucky’s Christian history in terms appropriate for the K-12 public school classroom. Often this is best achieved by sharing the stories of people who attributed their successes to their faith. There is an index of famous Kentucky Christians on the project website [1] with links to external websites with more biographical information. Frequently the most difficult thing we do is to find original and verifiable documentation of their faith. Too often faith is neglected and viewed as marginal or irrelevant. Our project pulls the strand of faith forward. Carl Brashear served as consultant to the movie, Men of Honor , starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert DeNiro that portrays his quest to become the Navy’s first African American Master Diver. It juxtaposes the cruel racism that Brashear endured in the pursuit of his dream with his determination and self-control. It is difficult to watch. Whe
