'Trial of the Century,' 100 Years Later

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of the Scopes Monkey Trial, a landmark legal case dubbed the “trial of the century.” A symbolic clash between the roles of science and religion during the Roaring Twenties, the trial became a public spectacle and was the first to be broadcast nationally on radio.    The case challenged Tennessee’s 1925 Butler Act, which prohibited public teachers from contradicting the biblical account of creation (including the theory of evolution). High school teacher John Scopes intentionally incriminated himself, with his defense helmed by Clarence Darrow and the American Civil Liberties Union. Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan—who died five days after the trial—led the prosecution. Broader legal questions included the separation of church and state, free speech, and more.    Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 (later overturned), and the Butler Act remained in place until 1967.
