    Today in History: July 21, verdict reached in Scopes ‘Monkey Trial’

    On July 21, 1925, John T. Scopes was found guilty of violating Tennessee law by teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution during the 'Monkey Trial,' though the conviction was later overturned. The day also marked historical events such as the first Battle of Bull Run in 1861, the 1944 U.S. landing on Guam, and the 1954 Geneva Conference dividing Vietnam.
