Scopes Monkey Trial 8of8

The famous 1925 trial of John Scopes in Dayton Tennessee became known as the "Monkey Trial". John Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution. This breached the Tennessee anti-evolution law known as the Butler Act. The trial itself received national attention as it was not only one of the first ever court cases which was broadcast live on radio but pitted famous lawyer, Clarence Darrow against past presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan.

Thank you for posting this. I have seen a lot of documentaries on this subject and this is the best. Being the most factual documentary I've seen, it is no mystery why it has generated so many negative votes. You must be doing something right :^ )

Thank-you!!!

@rm2ken the movie was a sham.

@edisonphonographfan I'm sorry, I was completely sincere. I wouldn't react with such vitriol to a missionary leaving me with "God Bless" or "Christ be with you," so why so upset? (The [sic]s were perhaps a little mean, and I apologize for them.) I would be content to leave this discussion off, but I don't want you to think I bear you any animosity.
