SUMMARY:Ike –  A Biography of the Private Life Of A Great American (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:Ike –  A Biography of the Private Life Of A Great American\nVery few Americans have had an impact on the world that equals that of Dwight David Eisenhower. \nHe did a brilliant job as commander of Allied forces in World War II\, despite having minimal combat experience. Click here to read a fascinating\, little-known story about how General Eisenhower was prepared to take full responsibility if the D-Day invasion had failed. \nAfter serving ably as President of Columbia University and Supreme Commander of NATO\, Dwight Eisenhower did a superb job as President of the United States of America\, despite having no prior experience in politics. After his retirement\, he was still called on to advise his young successor\, John F. Kennedy\, at moments of crisis. \nIke was one of the great Americans of all time. Eisenhower was widely admired and enormously respected by a public that really did not know him very well. Few Americans could tell you much about Ike’s parents\, Ike’s brothers\, his religious faith\, or his relationship with his wife and children. Did you know that Dwight Eisenhower was a superb athlete who once tackled Jim Thorpe? Or that he was quietly one of the most religious presidents in the history of the USA? \nThis multimedia presentation will serve as a fascinating biography illuminating the private life of one of the most admired Americans of all time. \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. Box #177\nDeerfield\, IL 60015\nPlease write “IKE2” in the“subj” line.  \nPayPal\nPay securely via PayPal:\n\n(Please note: PayPal deducts 10% of your donation as a fee. I receive $4.50 per $5.00 donation.) \nVenmo\nSend to: @B-Bradford-1\nPlease include “Ike 2” in the “ note” \nZelle\nUse the email address: Barry1776@ATT.NET\nInclude “Ike 2” in the “ note” \nWAIVER OPTION\nIf you cannot afford to pay or feel my programs aren’t worth it\, you are welcome to attend for free or contribute less.

SUMMARY:America's Purpose Statement: The Declaration Of Independence
DESCRIPTION:The most important sentence ever written by an American – a sentence that has inspired people in every part of the world – is found in America’s purpose statement! Click here to read more. The legacy of Washington\, Hancock\, Franklin\, Jefferson\, Adams\, Hamilton\, and Paul Revere still challenges us. \n \nOn a stifling July Thursday in 1776\, our Founding Fathers agreed to a completely unique document in the world’s history. Many revolutions had occurred over the centuries\, but never had one begun with a philosophical purpose statement. \nAlthough the Declaration of Independence has no legal power\, it has become the guiding beacon for what America strives to become. As the events of 2020 showed\, we as a nation are a world leader in human rights\, yet America is still a work in progress. \n \nWhy study the Declaration of Independence? It is the ultimate statement of what we hope to become. Freedom movements in the USA and worldwide have quoted it. \nYet many Americans know surprisingly little about it. In this exciting and thought-provoking multimedia presentation\, I will present the thrilling themes\, difficult negotiations\, contradictory\, complex\, charismatic personalities\, and exciting events leading to the most critical moment in American history. \n

SUMMARY:1950 - Life In America 75 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:Journey to 1950\, a defining year of post-war America\, when optimism soared and new challenges emerged. The Baby Boom was reshaping family life\, and suburban living became the American ideal. Television became the centerpiece of entertainment\, with early shows like I Love Lucy laying the groundwork for modern TV culture. Meanwhile\, the Cold War began to take hold\, with the Korean War marking the first major military conflict of the era. \n1950 wasn’t just about politics and economics—it was a year of rich cultural milestones. The movie Sunset Boulevard captivated audiences with its sharp critique of Hollywood’s Golden Age\, and Ella Fitzgerald’s smooth vocals dominated the airwaves. In sports\, the New York Yankees won another World Series\, while consumer goods like frozen dinners and color televisions symbolized the growing comfort of middle-class American homes. The Tonight Show\, Bill Murray\, and Morgan Fairchild were born in the same year that George Bernard Shaw and George Orwell died. \nThis program offers a vibrant look at a year of optimism and tension\, filled with fascinating stories\, visuals\, and multimedia elements. Whether you remember 1950 or are curious to learn about it\, this engaging presentation will transport you back to a time of hope\, change\, and cultural growth. Reserve your spot now to experience the year that set the stage for modern America! \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Integration Of Central High School - Little Rock\, 1957 (PM)
DESCRIPTION:The integration of Central High School  – Little Rock 1957 was one of the most dramatic turning points in American History. For the first time since the Supreme Court had declared school segregation illegal\, the federal government took decisive action to protect African American students’ rights. When conservative Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent paratroopers to occupy parts of Little Rock to open the schools\, he set a precedent for the federal government once again protecting disadvantaged Minority people’s rights for the first time since Reconstruction. \nThe Integration Of Central High School – Little Rock\, 1957\nIn this dramatic\, insightful\, and continuously surprising multimedia presentation\, Presidential and Congressional award-winning civil rights historian Barry Bradford will present not only the dramatic events of 1957 but also give us great insights into the personalities\, context\, and community that surrounded the confrontation.  Terrorism and patriotism\, courage and cowardice\, presidential leadership and white supremacists all come into conflict as America has to decide whether or not we truly meant the words written in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.” \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:Brown v Board - SCOTUS Transforms America
DESCRIPTION:In 1896\, The United States Supreme Court ruled 7 -1 that segregation was legal in the country that was begun with a document that said “…all men are created equal…” \nIn 1954\, The Supreme Court of The United States declared that the segregation of America’s public schools was unconstitutional. How did we get from Plessy to Brown? It is a dramatic\, exciting\, and unpredictable story of courage and the law. Two great lawyers – Thurgood Marshall and John W. Davis – squared off in a controversial and consequential case that changed America forever. You’ll get swept up in this original multimedia presentation that goes behind the scenes to recreate the exciting confrontation\, fascinating personalities\, and the process by which the Supreme Court arrived at the momentous decision!
