Remembering the Scopes Monkey Trial
NPR's All Things Considered aired a look back report "Remembering the Scopes Monkey Trial" by Noah Adams. You can listen to the report -- which includes remembrances by some citizens of Dayton, Tenn. who attended the trial -- here. Edward J. Larson the author of Summer for the Gods, an excellent book on the trial, provides background for the report. There is also a very useful timeline on the debate over evolution in the U.S. on the NPR website.
A nice piece of reporting.
