“Monkey Trial”

ON THIS DAY: One hundred years ago, the so-called “Monkey Trial” ended in Dayton, Tennessee, with John T. Scopes found guilty of violating state law for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

The conviction was later overturned. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/xS5yvM

The movie “Inherit the Wind” does an outstanding job of telling what happened. The names of the characters were changed but the story is factually correct. Who knows who the lawyers were in the actual trial? I do!
