SUMMARY:Election of 1932 (AM)
DESCRIPTION:The Election of 1932 ended with the victory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Democrats in the middle of one of the greatest electoral landslides in American History. The results of the 1932 presidential election led to a fundamental realignment of the political parties and a change in the way the government interacted with individual citizens. \nThis presentation offers a deep dive into the changing politics of the 20th century. We will see how conservative Republican backlash against the progressivism of GOP President Theodore Roosevelt and the reform-minded policies of the Democrat Woodrow Wilson swept into power three Republican presidents. \nThe laissez-faire financial plans and anti-immigration policies of Presidents Warren Harding\, Calvin Coolidge\, and Herbert Hoover led to a massive economic boom known as the Roaring 20s. \nAnd then they also lead to the great depression. This is the prelude to one of the most important\, consequential elections America has ever seen. \nJoin us on Zoom for a fascinating look at American History as it changes before your eyes. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00\, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:1923 - America One Hundred Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:The Roaring Twenties were going full blast\, and jazz filled the air. We were past a World War and a pandemic. Stocks and hemlines were going up. Warner Brothers\, King Tut’s tomb\, and Old Yankee Stadium were opened. 1923 seemed like an idyllic year. But\, below the surface\, storm clouds were gathering. Hitler led the Nazi Party in a failed coup attempt in Germany. The President\, Warren Harding\, embroiled in scandals\, died suddenly and mysteriously. \nJoin us as our time capsule lands in 1922. We will look at America as it looked 100 years ago. Among our topics: \n√ Who were the famous people who were born and died in 1922? (We lost President Harding and Pancho Villa but gained Henry Kissinger and Peter Lawford!). \n√ What were the most important inventions of 1923 (Water skis\, anyone?)  \n√ What were the most important news stories of 1923?  \n√  How much did everyday items cost? \n√ What music\, movies\, and performers were popular? \nAll of this and so much more as you join us for a 1922 time capsule program!!! \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n
