SUMMARY:Clarence Darrow - Lawyer For The Ages
DESCRIPTION:For almost a century\, the very name “Clarence Darrow” has been used as synonymous with a brave\, intrepid lawyer fighting for the rights of the disadvantaged and wrongfully accused.  The real Darrow was such a man. \nHe took on unpopular cases\, defended clients who were hated\, and supported causes that would be despised by men. \nIn this fascinating\, brand-new multimedia presentation\, we will look at how one lawyer helped change our field of the wall\, mankind\, and ourselves. From the Scopes trial to Leopold and Loeb\, Clarence Darrow was in the middle of many legal controversies that we will explore as we look at the life of a complex\, controversial\, and charismatic man. \n

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\, based on 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!

SUMMARY:1926 Time Capsule - America 100 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:What was happening in America exactly 100 years ago? \nIn this annual installment of the popular Time Capsule series\, historian Barry Bradford transports audiences back to 1926— the roaring heart of the Jazz Age. \nIt was a year of glamour and growth — but also of breakthroughs and storms. \nIn 1926: \n• Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket\, quietly opening the door to the Space Age.• Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel\, stunning the world and returning home to a ticker-tape parade.• The devastating Great Miami Hurricane exposed the fragility of Florida’s booming real estate market.• Henry Ford helped reshape American labor by instituting the 40-hour work week. \nMeanwhile: \n• Queen Elizabeth II\, Marilyn Monroe\, and Dick Van Dyke were born. \n\n\n\n\n• America lost Harry Houdini\, Annie Oakley\, and Robert Todd Lincoln.• George Gershwin was composing music that would define American sound.• The Chicago American Giants of the Negro Leagues won a dramatic World Series championship. \nThrough news headlines\, sports\, music\, film\, and cultural milestones\, this richly illustrated multimedia program brings 1926 to life — and places it in context. \nWhat did Americans believe about their future? How much did consumer items cost? What signs of change were already there? \nStep inside the Time Capsule and experience 1926 as if you were there. \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:1925: Life in America 100 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:Step back to 1925\, the heart of the Roaring Twenties\, when jazz ruled the airwaves\, flappers danced the Charleston\, and speakeasies thrived under Prohibition. This was a year of cultural transformation\, as F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby\, revealing the glitz and pitfalls of the American Dream\, while  Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington brought jazz into the mainstream. On the political front\, Calvin Coolidge presided over a booming economy\, and innovation flourished with inventions like the first mechanical television. \n1925 was also a year of contrasts. While the Scopes Monkey Trial sparked a national debate on science versus religion\, the Harlem Renaissance was in full swing\, reshaping literature and the arts. In entertainment\, silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin\, Rudolph Valentino\, and Buster Keaton captivated audiences\, while the first New Yorker magazine hit newsstands\, offering a new perspective on culture and humor. Consumer prices\, such as 54 cents for a gallon of gas\, highlight the economic reality of the time. Dick Van Dyke\, Malcolm X\, Johnny Carson\, and Robert F Kennedy were all born during the amazing year of 1925. \nThis fast-moving multimedia program brings 1925 vividly to life with visuals\, music\, and storytelling. Perfect for history buffs and culture enthusiasts\, this presentation will immerse you in the dazzling highs and defining struggles of a year that forever shaped America. Sign up now and take a journey back to a time of innovation\, contradiction\, and unforgettable style. \n================================================== \n
