April 18, 1857 – Clarence Darrow is born near Kinsman. Though it took seven tries to pass the bar exam, Darrow finds a career in law. A former secretary of state and presidential candidate, Darrow, an authority on the Bible, defends a teacher who taught evolution. He loses the Scopes Monkey Trial to William Jennings Bryan but wins on appeal and shows a nation that Christian beliefs are matters of faith - not science.
