1947 – America Seventy Five Years Ago
January 25, 2022 @ 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
1947 was one of the most exciting years in American history!
Baseball’s color barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson came to bat for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Even if you’re not a baseball fan, you need to recognize this is the first step of the modern civil rights era. Put another way, when Jackie Robinson dared to break the color barrier, Martin Luther King was just 18 years old!
Israel became an independent nation in 1947, transforming the world in ways that reverberate today. President Harry Truman announced “The Truman Doctrine” and the cold war unofficially began.
And if that’s not enough news for you, consider that a strange incident happened in Roswell, New Mexico, did some people believe was the crash landing have an alien spaceship!
Hillary Clinton, OJ Simpson, Stephen King, and Elton John were born, while Henry Ford 
and Al Capone died
This fascinating multimedia time capsule will explore the most popular sports figures, music, and movies in America and the beginning of television, the cost of everyday items and so much more!
