Scopes "Monkey Trial"
July 9, 1925
The Scopes trial involved a high school teacher named John T. Scopes, who broke a Tennessee law by teaching the theory of evolution in his biology classes. Defense attorney Clarence Darrow challenged the law in court, while the prosecution, led by lawyer, statesman, and former presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, defended the law as upholding the sanctity of the Bible. The trial attracted national attentionand raised public awareness about issues involving science and religion.
