Scopes Trial 100 Years Later

by Davis Hunt

“Today, we anticipate the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial in Dayton …. It was a strange thing that the eyes of the entire English-speaking world had descended upon such a small town in rural Tennessee during the summer of 1925, but a lot was on the line. John T. Scopes, a local high school teacher in the declining mining town of Dayton, was charged with violating the state’s new prohibition against teaching Darwinian Evolution in schools, and the whole world wanted to see what would happen to him in what would become known as the infamous ‘Scopes Monkey Trial.’ Now, for the 100th anniversary of the trial, from July 11th to the 19th, Dayton wants to tell the story on its own terms, free from a century of spin and misrepresentation.” (07/07/25)
