Manage episode 462169929 series 3342869
The Scopes Monkey Trial, marked by its 100th anniversary in 2025, was a significant event in American history, being the first trial broadcast live on radio. It revolved around John Scopes' alleged violation of Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited teaching evolution in schools. The trial raised issues of religion and education but focused on legal matters rather than the debate between Creationism and Darwinism.
