SUMMARY:Gideon\, Escobedo\, Miranda - Protecting The Accused
DESCRIPTION:  \nMiranda rights have become so familiar that most of us can recite them from memory – even though we have never been accused of a crime! \nThe “Warren Court” of the 1960s was tasked with interpreting the Bill of Rights for an America that James Madison could not have envisioned. They revolutionized our understanding of defendants’ rights and expanded our knowledge of the Constitution. \nThe “Roberts Court” of today has the same problem. Consider: how does the original interpretation of the Federal Constitution apply in situations that did not exist in 1787? When James Madison and the  Founders wrote the original Constitution\, they did not envision the need to search automobiles for cocaine\, stop terrorist hijackers from bringing shoe bombs on airplanes\, the need to search locked personal cell phones for call history that might be used to solve a kidnapping\, or deal with the admissibility of electronic surveillance gathered from drones. \nIn this fascinating multimedia presentation\, you will learn the historical background and continuing impact of three of the most critical cases in Supreme Court history. \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.

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:Al Capone  - Master Of The Mob
DESCRIPTION:Organized crime came in with a bang – literally – with the rise of prohibition. And no city was more under the control of the mob than Chicago. This exciting look at the rise of the Chicago outfit in the early days\, culminating with Al Capone\, finishes with a fascinating look at how Sam Giancana changed the Syndicate in Chicago from a group of bootlegging dogs to an international powerhouse that influenced American presidential elections and American foreign policy. \nWe’ll examine how ethnic neighborhoods\, Chicago city politics\, and the Kennedy administration all played into the tremendous influence of organized crime in Chicago. \nAl Capone was one of the most famous gangsters in American History.  Unlike many organized crime leaders\, he did little to hide his identity. He was seen at Wrigley Field chatting with star catcher Gabby Hartnett. \nGabby Hartnett Chats With Al Capone \n  \nThe true story of Al Capone’s rise and fall is complex and unexpected. Capone began as a cheap hoodlum in Brooklyn\, working for Frankie Yale\, the first man to begin organizing the mob in New York. \nLater\, Capone moved to Chicago to assist his pal Frankie Torrio\, second in command of the Chicago mob.  With ferocity and force\, Capone would come to head the Chicago outfit – before his pal\, a mild-mannered bookkeeper\, and the federal income tax laws brought him down! \n  \n\
