Description
In July 1925, a historic trial took place in Dayton, Tennessee, when John Scopes, a high school teacher, was charged with teaching the theory of evolution to his biology class in defiance of state law. Almost a hundred years later, the issue of evolution and education is still being debated. Author Kathiann M. Kowalski explores the case and looks at the famous film made about it, Inherit the Wind.
