Seems to me like the Scopes "Monkey Trial" took place in Tennessee.

I was 15 fwiw in 1960, and it seemed that the events of that. 1925 trial irl were as distant and crazy as the Salem witch trials. How many of us who saw that film in its original run would have imagined that we'd be farther back now than we were then?
