That seems like a very dark and heavy coat to be wearing in July in Tennessee. He's not dressed like any of the other men involved in the Scopes Trial. Could certainly be that preacher TIME mentioned. Wonder if the woman behind him is with him...

Note the Model T Ford in the background on the right.

Penny, why do you add all these irrelevant tags to photos?

They're not irrelevant to me.

Well, sorry, that does not answer my question. They are irrelevant to this story and to the Smithsonian photostream. I mean, come on, the word "standing" as a tag? What if someone else wants "posing" and someone else wants "living" and some else wants "woman in the background"? These types of tags are wastes of space and time. They are meaningless. It is different if you personally are posting something. Then you can add whatever tags you want. But, this is a little different where thousands of people view these images. Like I said, what if everyone were to list whatever irrelevant tags they want? BTW, please tell me how the word "standing" as a tag is relevant to you? I am really curious.

I love the expressions on the women's faces - all so caring and accepting of this experience they face together.

Very interesting photo.. wide angle lens.. wonder what the story was...

Is that a bike rack she's leaning on?

Bonjour, je suis un administrateur du groupe 30's "ART DECO period", et nous aimerions beaucoup que vous ajoutiez votre photo à notre groupe.

We're looking for your help! Please help us identify the unnamed in this photograph in the comments below. This photo is featured in a post on the Smithsonian Institution Archives' blog, THE BIGGER PICTURE.

This young girl was unknown to William Silverman. As his daughter, he went over the photos with me several times over the years. He knew he was taking Clarence Darrow's photo and Mr. Bryan's but none of the others.
