SUMMARY:Looking Back; Looking Ahead 2025 In Review (PM)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nLooking Back: Looking Ahead – 2025 EditionThe most eagerly anticipated program of the year returns! \nThis is\, without question\, the most popular and talked-about program I offer—and for good reason. Last year\, it sold out at every venue\, and with good reason: 2025 has been one of the most remarkable\, unpredictable\, and news-packed years in recent memory. Make your reservations early for this can’t-miss event! \nWhat Made 2025 So Extraordinary?\nFrom the death of a pope and historic global protests to dramatic developments in the Supreme Court\, politics\, science\, and culture\, 2025 was a year unlike any other. We witnessed: \n\n\nThe passing of Pope Francis and the unprecedented papal transition to a pope from Chicago! \n\n\n President Donald Trump pardoned the January 6 rioters \n\n\nMassive national protests over the deportation and the Supreme Court standoff \n\n\nTumultuous changes in policy regarding the environment and human rights \n\n\nA growing international crisis in Ukraine and the Middle East \n\n\nWild economic swings in the stock market and tourism sectors \n\n\nBig surprises in culture\, sports\, and science (including Broadway’s record highs and the return of the dire wolf!) \n\n\nThe Highlights You’ve Been Waiting For\nAt this fun and fast-moving event\, I’ll present my curated and crowd-favorite lists: \n\n\n✔ Top Ten News Stories of 2025 \n\n\n✔ Top Ten Quotes of 2025 \n\n\n✔ Top Ten New Words or Phrases of 2025 \n\n\n✔ Notable Deaths of 2025 \n\n\nThen… My Predictions for 2026!\nThis is the part of the program everyone loves: I’ll unveil ten bold and specific predictions for the coming year. \nWill the Democrats retake the House\, the Senate\, or both?Will inflation finally ease or worsen?Will peace talks in Ukraine break the deadlock?Will AI and medicine reshape our everyday lives? \nAnd to keep me honest\, I’ll also revisit the predictions I made for 2025—revealing which ones I nailed and which ones I missed! \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 “Year PM” in the subject line. \nPayPal\nPay securely via PayPal:\n\n(Please note: PayPal deducts 10% of your donation as a fee.

I completely understand the challenges of living on a tight budget and offer this with compassion. \nREGISTRATION LINK\nClick Here to Register \nDIDN’T RECEIVE YOUR ZOOM LINK?\nIf you don’t receive a confirmation email after registering\, it means your sign-up wasn’t completed.

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:1975: Life in America 50 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:Revisit 1975\, a year when America found itself at a crossroads. In the aftermath of Watergate\, the country was grappling with questions of trust and leadership\, while Vietnam veterans returned home to a divided nation. At the same time\, disco fever was taking over\, with songs like Gloria Gaynor’s Never Can Say Goodbye and KC and the Sunshine Band lighting up dance floors across the country. Two of the Three Stooges (Larry and Moe) died in the same year that Tiger Woods and Kate Winslet were born. \nIn the world of American popular culture\, 1975 saw the release of groundbreaking films like Jaws\, which became the first summer blockbuster\, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest\, a critical and commercial success. \nSaturday Night Live debuted on television\, changing comedy forever\, while Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run captured the hopes and frustrations of a generation. Consumer prices reflected the energy crisis\, with gas costing just 57 cents a gallon but often hard to come by due to shortages. \nThis dynamic program brings 1975 to life with a mix of visuals\, music\, and engaging stories that showcase the era’s highs and lows. Whether you’re nostalgic for bell-bottoms or curious about how the cultural shifts of the 1970s shaped America\, this presentation is a must-see. Sign up now to take a journey back to a year of transformation and unforgettable moments.

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!
