		Susan Epperson is the plaintiff of the Epperson vs. Arkansas 1968 Supreme Court decision, which overturned laws preventing the teaching of evolution in public schools and universities, including the law that surrounded the Scopes trial in 1925. Susan Epperson was born and attended public school in Arkansas. After obtaining a master’s degree in zoology from the University of Illinois, she returned to Arkansas in 1964 to teach 10th grade biology in the Little Rock school system. The textbook that she was supposed to instruct from included a chapter on evolution that was illegal for her to teach. In 1965, at the request of the Arkansas Education Association, she filed suit in Chancery Court. In 1966, this court declared the law against the teaching of evolution unconstitutional. The case was eventually appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, who ruled unanimously in 1968 that the law was unconstitutional. Mrs. Epperson remains a dedicated biology teacher and currently teaches chemistry at the University of Colorado’s Colorado Springs campus.
