The Scopes Trial, 1925
This dramatic, landmark case, which would spawn a play, a film and TV movies, challenged a Tennessee law banning the teaching in state-funded schools of any theory denying the Biblical view of man's creation. Defendant John Scopes, second from left, intentionally violated the law by teaching evolution in his high-school science class, for which he was found guilty and fined $100.
