1924 – America 100 Years Ago (PM)
April 4 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Our popular “Time Capsule.” programs return with this brand new entry: “1924 – America 100 Years Ago.
Each program will take you deep into American life during the year in question. We will look at the famous people who were born and passed away that year, examine the top news stories, and dive into popular culture, sports, and politics.

George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Marlon Brando, and Truman Capote were born, the Model T revolutionized America, Ellis Island closed, the Wrigley Building opened, and the first winter Olympics were held.
