> Privately raised funds paid for the sculpture, but Moore allowed a film crew from Coral Ridge Ministries – the Religious Right organization run by Florida-based television evangelist D. James Kennedy – to tape footage of the monument’s construction and placement. Coral Ridge later sold the videotape as a fundraiser, and has paid for Moore’s legal defense.
