"The Scopes Trial" by Renee Graves delves into the historic 1925 courtroom battle over the teaching of evolution in schools. Set against the backdrop of Dayton, Tennessee, the narrative follows John T. Scopes, a young teacher accused of violating the Butler Act by instructing his students in Darwin’s theory of evolution. As the trial unfolds, it attracts national attention, pitting prominent figures like defense attorney Clarence Darrow against prosecutor William Jennings Bryan. Through gripping courtroom drama and personal conflicts, the story explores themes of science versus religion, the pursuit of knowledge, and the societal tensions of the time.
