Megan Phelps-Roper grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at military funerals and celebrating AIDS as a plague against LGBT people. Then, through radical empathy facilitated by people reaching out to her on social media, she left the church and changed her mind. Megan Phelps-Roper sits down with SDPB's Lori Walsh at the South Dakota Festival of Books.
