Book excerpt: One of the most famous trials in U.S. history took place in a tiny town in Tennessee in 1925. Dayton was the site of what became known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. The defendant, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating a recently passed state law. This law made it illegal to teach the theory of evolution. Under most circumstances, few people would have paid any attention. Several of Dayton's leading citizens saw a chance to put their town on the map. They were successful. Two of the country's most famous people-William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow-soon became involved. Dozens of reporters poured into Dayton from all over the country. It was the first trial to receive live media coverage. Scopes was found guilty. He had to pay a small fine. But the issues about evolution that the trial raised are still debated today. Book jacket.

Book Of Monkeys and Men

Book excerpt: Digitized pages from the Of monkeys and men Scopes Trial. In July 1925 radios across America were tuned to a courtroom drama unfolding in a small town in East Tennessee. The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes was a test of the Butler Act, which made it illegal for Tennessee’s public schools “to teach any theory that denies the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” The American Civil Liberties Union advertised for a Tennessee teacher willing to test the constitutionality of the new law. Hoping to put Dayton, Tennessee on the map and revive the flagging local economy, community leaders enlisted John Scopes, a popular young high school teacher, to stand as defendant. Big-name lawyers William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow took opposing sides at the trial. Their participation launched a media circus. The Scopes Trial began an ongoing national debate on the intersection of science and religion in the public schools. Of Monkeys and Men: Public and Private Views from the Scopes Trial digital collection consists of selected documents and photographs from the Sue K. Hicks Papers and the W.C. Robinson Collection of Scopes Trial Photographs. Sue K. Hicks, a Dayton lawyer, was a member of the Scopes prosecution team. The digital collection includes letters, notes, and other documents assembled by Hicks during the trial. W.C. Robinson was the son of “Doc” Robinson, owner of the Dayton drugstore where Scopes “Monkey Trial” spectators were greeted by a trained chimpanzee wearing a suit and bow tie. Sue Hicks and Doc Robinson were two of the community leaders who initiated the Dayton trial.

Book Christianity   s Role in United States Global Health and Development Policy

Download or read book Christianity s Role in United States Global Health and Development Policy written by John Blevins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the role of religion in influencing international health policy and health services provision has been seen as increasingly important. This book provides a social history of the relationship between religion and America's international health policy and practice from the latter 19th century to the present. The book demonstrates that the fields of religion and public health have distinct moral frameworks, each with their own rationales, assumptions, and motivations. While these two frameworks share significant synergies, substantial tensions also exist, which are negotiated in political contexts. The book traces the origins of religion’s influence on public health to the Progressive Era in the latter half of the 19th century, examines tensions that arose in the first half of the 20th century, describes the divorce between religion and international health from the 1940s through the 1980s, identifies the sources of the renewed interest in the relationship between religion and international health, and anticipates the future contours of religion and international health in light of contemporary political and economic forces.While the influence of religion on international health practice and policy in the United States serves as the focus of the book, the effects of US policies on international health policies in general are also explored in depth, especially in the book’s later chapters. This ambitious study of religion’s social history in the United States over the last 150 years will be of interest to researchers in global health, politics, religion and development studies.
