On July 26h,1925 - John Scopes.

July 26, 1925, a worldwide news crush in Dayton, Tennessee during what is dubbed “The Monkey Trial“. Did we descend from primates, as theorized by Charles Darwin or were we divinely created as written in Genesis, and decreed by a new Tennessee law forbidding any teaching of evolution in public schools. Biology teacher John Thomas Scopes stands accused by a fundamentalist prosecution team headed up by orator William Jennings Bryant -- whose grandstanding makes him fall victim to a devastating cross-examination by ACLU defensive whiz Clarence Darrow. No matter - the judge rules that any testimony validating evolution is invalid. Did he Scopes teach Darwin? He did and so he was fined $100!
