Scopes Monkey Trial 6of8

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.

How typical of a fundamentalist like Butler to propose a law against teaching that he admitted he knew nothing about.

Judge was a moron, votes were on his mind.

Can you imagine wearing those 1925 clothes in the TENNESSEE July heat? It is amazing that people were not dropping dead in their tracks.

It does not look so bad for the ladies but the men had to wear those stiff collars.

In the South in the Summer time it is BARELY tolerable to wear a tank top and shorts...let alone a 3 piece suit like these guys.
