On July 21, 1925, the Scopes Trial concluded in Dayton, Tennessee. Teacher John T. Scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution, violating state law. The trial drew national attention and highlighted tensions between science and religious beliefs. Clarence Darrow defended Scopes, while William Jennings Bryan prosecuted. The verdict was later overturned on a technicality. The case remains a landmark in debates over science education.
