The Scopes Monkey Trial, Part One

from Stories of Appalachia · host Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins

In 1925 the state of Tennessee passed the Butler Act, which made it illegal to teach the theory of evolution in public schools. A group of men in Dayton, Tennessee, decided to challenge that law with the help of the ACLU, picking a high school teacher named John Scopes as their defendant. Today we tell part one of that story.
