The trial of the century / Gregg Jarrett with Don Yaeger.

Jarrett, Gregg, (author.). Yaeger, Don, (author.).

Summary:

"1925, High school substitute teacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching the science of evolution, a violation of Tennessee's Butler Act. When attorney Clarence Darrow defended Scopes, the trial catapulted the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, into the national spotlight. Darrow's seminal defense of freedom of speech helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today. Jarrett and Yaeger call upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time."-- Adapted from the book jacket.
