SUMMARY:The Life Of Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:When Abraham Lincoln became President\, he was two years younger than George W. Bush was when he became Chief Executive! On the day he died\, Lincoln was approximately the same age Barack Obama was when he began his second term. Few Americans realize Lincoln was such a young man during his difficult Presidency. He never wore a beard until after he was elected! The Life Of Lincoln is filled with surprises\, shrouded in myths\, and ultimately an uplifting story of a great man \nAbraham Lincoln is our most familiar President. Any American could identify him on sight. Yet Lincoln’s life was surprisingly complex\, and the truth about Lincoln is often shrouded in myth. \nAs a Lincoln scholar\, I will offer a frank\, surprising\, and intriguing multimedia presentation on the real man under the stove-pipe hat. Don’t miss the Life Of Lincoln!

SUMMARY:Landmark Supreme Court Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Few institutions have had as profound an impact on American life as the United States Supreme Court. In a single decision\, nine justices can redefine the powers of government\, expand—or restrict—individual rights\, and change the course of American history. \nIn this fascinating new presentation\, historian Barry Bradford examines some of the Supreme Court’s most important and controversial decisions\, from Marbury v. Madison\, which established the Court’s power of judicial review\, to Bush v. Gore\, which effectively decided a presidential election. \nAlong the way\, we’ll examine Plessy v. Ferguson and the constitutional sanctioning of segregation; Mapp v. Ohio and the rights of the accused; Engel v. Vitale and prayer in public schools; Roe v. Wade and the long-running battle over abortion rights; and other landmark cases that transformed American law and society. \nFor each case\, we’ll go beyond the legal ruling to explore the fascinating human stories behind it. What was happening in America at the time? Why did the case reach the Supreme Court? What made the decision controversial? And how did the ruling change the country? \nWhether you agree or disagree with the decisions\, these remarkable cases demonstrate the extraordinary power of the Supreme Court—and how its interpretation of the Constitution has helped shape the America we live in today. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
