If William Jennings Bryan hasn’t already had a wild ride just wait for the infamous finale to his career. WJB would represent the state of Tennessee as it fought to uphold it’s Butler Bill which forbade the teaching of evolution in schools. Clarence Darrow and the ACLU would have a thing or two to say about that and the “Boy Orator” would find himself on the defensive in more ways than one! The Scopes Monkey Trial encapsulated many of the changes of the Roaring 20’s. It symbolized a changing nation with shifting values and is a key moment in the teaching of evolution in American Schools.Check out this grand finale on William Jennings Bryan!
