Inherently Wind: A Hollywood History of the Scopes Trial Dr. David Menton
In one of his most popular talks, Dr. David Menton exposes the distortions and inaccuracies in the play and movie Inherit the Wind. This influential propaganda piece has deceived a whole generation with the false belief that Christians went on a “witch hunt” to stop John Scopes from teaching evolution, but in reality it was a “set up” by the American Civil Liberties Union. Dr. Menton was awarded “Professor of the Year” in 1998 while associate professor of anatomy at the respected Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Now a professor emeritus (he holds a Ph.D. in cell biology from Brown University), Dr. Menton now speaks full-time for AiG. Audiences enjoy Dr. Menton’s well-illustrated presentations on a variety of fascinating topics, such as the human body, feathers and birds, and the Scopes trial.
