SUMMARY:History Vs. the Movies: Mississippi Burning
DESCRIPTION: History Vs. the Movies: Mississippi Burning\nMississippi Burning: The Civil Rights Era is one of the most exciting\, important\, and electrifying eras in American history. \nFrom a cinematic standpoint\, it had everything. Dynamic and diverse leadership\, powerful and determined villains\, mystery\, motivation\, and manipulation. Nonetheless\, movies about the era generally not been hits and despite the hype about Selma\, no great masterpiece of filmmaking has yet emerged. “Mississippi Burning”  is a brilliant film but\, from a historical point of view\, utter nonsense. “Selma” is a maddening jumble. In its sections on Martin Luther King\, it is extraordinary. In its sections on Lyndon Johnson\, it is completely misleading. “Ghosts of Mississippi” is an earnest and well-made film about the trial of the murderer of Medgar Evers. However\, unless you already knew quite a bit about Medgar Evers\, you would leave the film wondering who exactly he was. \nSome of the best films about the Civil Rights Movement have actually been made-for-TV films. Clark Johnson directed “Boycott”  for HBO and it combines arresting visuals with superb acting. The Rosa Parks made-for-TV movie was likewise very good. Spike Lee directed an outstanding documentary\, “Four Little Girls.”  But so far\, a genuine cinematic masterpiece about the Civil Rights Era has eluded filmmakers. \nIn this fast-moving and thought-provoking multimedia presentation\, we will look at clips from some of the films about the Civil Rights Movement.   Our special focus will be on “Mississippi Burning.” Using inside stories\, personal anecdotes and a clear timeline\, we will see how this brilliantly made film distorted history and changed America’s perceptions about the Movement. \nCheck this out: in “Mississippi Burning\,”  the FBI gets an invaluable ship to find out where the bodies are buried. The screenwriter and director had to fictionalize where the tip came from. That is because the mystery informant had never been revealed. Working with the brilliant investigative reporter Jerry Mitchell\, I was able to help figure out where the tip had come from – Jerry uncovered the identity of the mysterious “Mr. X.” Click here to find out who he was! \nPLEASE NOTE: Registration is required to attend.

SUMMARY:Richard J. To Rahm: Modern Mayors Of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:For two tumultuous decades\, Richard J Daley was indisputably the all powerful mayor of the city of Chicago. From 1955 until 1976\, his name was synonymous with “The City That Works.” At times\, it seemed as if he would be mayor for ever. When he died very suddenly\, the city was shocked to learn that there was no clear-cut successor outlined in city ordinances! For a full week\, it was not clear from either a legal or a political standpoint who actually had succeeded him as mayor. \n  \nIn this fascinating and unique multimedia series\, we will look at the colorful\, charismatic\, controversial men and woman who served as mayor of Chicago after the death of  long time Mayor Richard J Daley. Jane Byrne was the first woman to be mayor but her quirky personality undercut her idiosyncratic efforts at political reform. Chicago’s first African-American mayor\, Harold Washington was initially elected by a bitterly divided electorate. Despite ongoing battles with the obstinate City Council\, he then won a crushing reelection victory. Washington’s attempts to change the way Chicago does business ended abruptly with his death in office early in his second term. Richard M Daley wanted to move Chicago into becoming a technological city as opposed to an industrial mecca. Although he served as mayor longer than his father\, the constant controversies\, scandals\, and arrests of his allies marred the legacy of a mayor who rebuilt Chicago’s image. \nRichard M. Daley served as mayor even longer than his father did!  The significant accomplishments of his first two terms were obscured by a growing number of serious scandals during the later years of his reign. \nWith Mayor Rahm Emanuel under fire\, facing calls to resign\, it is fascinating to look at the varied life stories\, unique elections and mixed records of the men and woman who have guided Chicago since the death of Richard J. Daley.

Washington’s attempts to change the way Chicago does business ended abruptly with his death in office early in his second term. Richard M Daley wanted to move Chicago into becoming a technological city as opposed to an industrial mecca. Although he served as mayor longer than his father\, the constant controversies\, scandals\, and arrests of his allies marred the legacy of a mayor who rebuilt Chicago’s image. \nRichard M. Daley served as mayor even longer than his father did!  The significant accomplishments of his first two terms were obscured by a growing number of serious scandals during the later years of his reign. \nWith Mayor Rahm Emanuel under fire\, facing calls to resign\, it is fascinating to look at the varied life stories\, unique elections and mixed records of the men and woman who have guided Chicago since the death of Richard J. Daley.

SUMMARY:Hizzoner - Richard J. Daley\, The Mayor Of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Richard J. Daley was the Mayor of Chicago for 21 years.\nThe Legacy Of Richard J. Daley\nHis legacy is complex and his accomplishments controversial\, substantial\, and long-lasting. \nA poll of professional historians named Richard J. Daley as the sixth most effective mayor in the history of the United States. \nDr. Martin Luther King Jr. saw Mayor Daley as the embodiment of segregation and racism. \nRichard J. Daley’s methods were not democratic but White Chicago grew and prospered under his leadership. Richard J. Daley’s early life reads like a Horatio Alger story. He was the grandson of a butcher. He was the son of a sheet metal worker.  Richard J. Daley sold newspapers\, worked in the stockyards\, and made deliveries. He worked his way through school during the depression\, taking night classes to learn clerical skills and then a law degree. \n He worked his way up through the Chicago political machine\, beginning as a Democratic Precinct captain. He was actually elected as a Republican to the state legislature\, but quickly switched parties. He worked with then Gov. Adlai Stevenson and worked his way up through the ranks of the Democratic Party. His election as mayor cemented his power in Chicago. Whether he was overseeing the massive building projects in downtown Chicago\, fighting against the efforts of Martin Luther King to integrate the city\, battling protesters at the 1968 Democratic convention\, or building a party infrastructure that would last well beyond his lifetime\, Richard J. Daley led an extraordinary life. \nIn this fast-paced multimedia presentation\, we will delve into the personal background and relationships of Chicago’s Mayor Richard J. Daley. We will look at his complex\, controversial\, and contradictory reputation for effectiveness and repression. You will come away with a deeper understanding – if not a different opinion – of Mayor Richard J. Daley.

SUMMARY:Robert F. Kennedy - Fallen Leader
DESCRIPTION:Imagine If RFK Had Not Been Shot\n \n  \nThe election of 1968 was a tipping point in American History. Protests over the war in Vietnam. marches for Civil Rights\, demands for change roiled the country.  And then\, just months apart\, Martin Luther King and RFK were murdered.  The Democratic Convention of 1968 descended into chaos\, George Wallace entered the race and Richard Nixon squeaked out a victory. \nNow ask: what would have happened if RFK had not been murdered and had run against Nixon in the general election. We’ll assume that he would have won all the states won by Humphrey.  Then\, it seems reasonable to assume\, he would have won Illinois\, California and New Jersey\, which Humphrey lost despite their strong Democratic tilt.  With those states\, RFK would have been President. \nWhat gun control laws\, civil rights laws and environmental laws would he have championed?  How many men who would die in Vietnam would have lived?  The speculation is fascinating! \nThis probing multimedia biography will explore the growth and development of RFK personality and the amazing events that surrounded his short and meaningful life.

SUMMARY:Richard J. To Rahm: Modern Mayors Of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:For two tumultuous decades\, Richard J Daley was indisputably the all powerful mayor of the city of Chicago. From 1955 until 1976\, his name was synonymous with “The City That Works.” At times\, it seemed as if he would be mayor for ever. When he died very suddenly\, the city was shocked to learn that there was no clear-cut successor outlined in city ordinances! For a full week\, it was not clear from either a legal or a political standpoint who actually had succeeded him as mayor. \n  \nIn this fascinating and unique multimedia series\, we will look at the colorful\, charismatic\, controversial men and woman who served as mayor of Chicago after the death of  long time Mayor Richard J Daley. Jane Byrne was the first woman to be mayor but her quirky personality undercut her idiosyncratic efforts at political reform. Chicago’s first African-American mayor\, Harold Washington was initially elected by a bitterly divided electorate. Despite ongoing battles with the obstinate City Council\, he then won a crushing reelection victory. Washington’s attempts to change the way Chicago does business ended abruptly with his death in office early in his second term. Richard M Daley wanted to move Chicago into becoming a technological city as opposed to an industrial mecca. Although he served as mayor longer than his father\, the constant controversies\, scandals\, and arrests of his allies marred the legacy of a mayor who rebuilt Chicago’s image. \nRichard M. Daley served as mayor even longer than his father did!  The significant accomplishments of his first two terms were obscured by a growing number of serious scandals during the later years of his reign. \nWith Mayor Rahm Emanuel under fire\, facing calls to resign\, it is fascinating to look at the varied life stories\, unique elections and mixed records of the men and woman who have guided Chicago since the death of Richard J. Daley.

SUMMARY:Medgar Evers: Is It Ever Too Late To Do The Right Thing?
DESCRIPTION:Medgar Evers Is My Hero.\nMedgar Evers\, a brave Civil Rights leader\,was assassinated in the driveway of his home\, murdered by a Ku Klax Klan leader bent on blood. \nWhat offense had Medgar Evers committed? He was trying to register African Americans to vote in Mississippi in 1963.  \nHis murderer was quickly identified – but lived as a free man for thirty years until an unstoppable wife\, a dogged newspaperman and a brilliant prosecutor managed to get the case reopened.  On the fortieth anniversary of the murder\, I hosted the official National Day Of Remembrance\, and had the chance to meet and befriend his widow\, his family and many of his friends. I will bring their tremendously moving personal stories to life. \nMyrlie Evers hugs Barry Bradford students. \nOur presentation is filled with inside information on the thrilling trial\, amazing anecdotes and a heavy dose of drama.  History will come alive as you witness whether it is ever to late to do the right thing. \n
