In today’s world, film studios promote their movies through flashy commercials, social media campaigns, and having their actors appear on numerous talk shows. But most of those tools didn’t exist in the 1950s.

So, in order to promote The Ten Commandments, the studio’s publicity department gave grants to various state and local government offices around the U.S. for them to put a set of tablets (featuring the actual ten commandments) on public display. Decades later, these displays caused controversy with the ACLU insisting they violated the idea of separation of church and state.
