Acclaimed historian Brenda Wineapple discusses her examination of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial, Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation (Aug. 2024).
“No subject possesses the minds of men like religious bigotry and hate, and these fires are being lighted today in America.” So said legendary attorney Clarence Darrow in 1925 as hundreds of people descended on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, for the trial of schoolteacher John T. Scopes, who was charged with breaking the law by teaching evolution to his biology class in a public school. Ken Burns called it, “Propulsive . . . a terrific story about a pivotal moment in our history.”
Recorded April 23, 2024, at the NYS Museum. Moderated by Henry M. Greenberg, shareholder at Greenberg, Traurig, past president of the New York State Bar Association and chair of the Commission to Reimagine the Future of New York's Courts.
This event was cosponsored by the New York State Education Department’s Office of Cultural Education, the New York State Museum, UAlbany’s School of Criminal Justice’s “Justice and Multiculturalism in the 21st Century Project”, and The518.com.
