SUMMARY:Julia Child: Spy And Chef
DESCRIPTION:Julia Child: Spy And Chef\n \nIn 1963 Julia Child became the first national superstar chef on TV.! \nHer program “The French Chef” was so influential that the Smithsonian Institute features her kitchen\, intact\, as a permanent exhibit! Julia Child changed the way America thought about food\, became the first star of public broadcasting\, opened the doors for cooking on television\, and became one of the first and most important faces of public broadcasting. Quite a legacy for a woman who was neither French nor a chef! \n There was another\, long-secret side to Julia Child – one that she hid for many decades.  \nIn 1943\, twenty years before her cooking and media skills would make her famous\, Julia Child served in America’s top-secret spy corps during World War II! The amazing Julia Child worked in the OSS\, \nJulia Child – In China WWII \nwhich was later to become the CIA. Utilizing a very high level of security clearance\, exceptional organizational skills\, and endless optimism and resourcefulness\, the former party girl from California\, served America her nation. She worked at the right hand of “Wild Bill” Donovan\, the head of America’s foreign spies! Paul\, Julia Child\, moved from one dangerous overseas post to another with her husband\, serving our country before learning how to cook. \n  \nThe daring story of Julia Child in the OSS is only one of the delights in this unique\, funny\, and fascinating multimedia presentation! We will look at how she changed public television\, changed the way America cooked and ate – and how she had a whole lot of fun in everything she attempted! \n  \nFREE CLASS! No registration is needed; click here for the Zoom link. This is a Zoom Program \n

SUMMARY:1972 - America 50 Years Ago
DESCRIPTION:Our time capsule lands 50 years ago in the tumultuous year of 1972. As the Vietnam war dragged on\, the battles between Archie Bunker and his son-in-law\, ‘Meathead Mike’ Stivic accurately reflected the deep divisions in 1972 America. ‘All In The Family’  Nixon went to Russia and to China and then won overwhelming reelection in the shadow of the just emerging story of Watergate. \n1972 brought us great films\, a terrorist massacre at the Olympics\, rising wages\, and a changing style of TV.  Jackie Robinson and Harry Truman died while Dwayne Johnson and when is Paltrow were born. Mark Spitz and Olga Korbut became sports legends and don McLean anthem “American Pie” shut off the charts. You will be amazed at what a fascinating year 1972 words!

SUMMARY:Betty White: America's Favorite Potty Mouthed Grandma
DESCRIPTION:The fabulous Betty White has been called an American national treasure – and rightly so! Up until her death at 99\, Betty White was a beacon of positivity even in difficult years! Witty\, working\, and happy\, Betty white it’s a beacon of positivity even in difficult times! \nYear in and year out\, Betty White was voted one of America’s most beloved entertainers.  In 2018\, she was chosen as the most trusted person in America! You know her as the seemingly sweet we but secretly scheming sexpot Sue Anne Nivens on the iconic  “Mary Tyler Moore Show\,” the naïve and trusting Rose Nyland on the classic  “Golden Girls\,” and the outrageous and somewhat loopy Elka Ostrovsky on ” Hot in Cleveland.” Betty White has been a staple on talk shows\, a host and panelist on game shows\, and has even performed in some popular movies\, including one classic film drama about politics in which she played a U.S. Senator! \nYou may not know that Betty White was a pioneer in the early days of television\, being the first woman to produce her own show!  The amazing Ms. White is a best-selling author and tireless advocate for animals. Most importantly\, she is widely considered one of the nicest people in all show business. This warm\, charming and funny presentation is loaded with hilarious video clips and great stories about the one and only Betty White. \n

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 Medgar Evers’ 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’s students. \nThis multimedia presentation is very personal to me. You will be amazed by the story – it is jam-packed with inside information on the thrilling trial\, amazing anecdotes\, and a heavy dose of drama.  The trial of the murderer of Medgar Evers proved to be an important and emotional turning point in American law and history will come alive as you witness whether it is ever too late to do the right thing. \nREGISTRATION: \nThe program is free!

SUMMARY:Natalie Wood
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Wood was one of the most popular and glamorous actresses of the 1950s and 60s. She starred in numerous classic films including\, “Miracle on 34th St.” “Rebel Without a Cause\,” “West Side Story\,” “Gypsy\,” “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice\,” “Splendor in the Grass\,” “Sex and the Single Girl\,” & “The Great Race.” Her stunning looks\, popular performances\, and her marriages and romances made her a staple on magazine covers for 20 years. \nShe’s one of the few performers to have a significant career as a child\, teenager\, and adult. Although critics were often less than impressed by her acting ability\, she set a record by becoming only the second actress to receive three Academy Awards before she turned 25 years old! (Jennifer Lawrence and Sairose Ronan have since bested that record.) \nWhen Natalie Wood was only 43\, a mother of two\, with a great career in films and television potentially still ahead\, she died under mysterious – possibly criminal – circumstances in the Pacific Ocean. \nThis fascinating multimedia public speaking presentation will explore her troubled life\, fabulous career\, and the mysterious death of Natalie Wood.

SUMMARY:M*A*S*H
DESCRIPTION:M*A*S*H is one of the most important\, influential\, and intriguing television series of all time. \nM*A*S*H was set during the Korean War.\, However\, the creators of M*A*S*H intended to make a statement about the ongoing war in Vietnam and war in general. When it finally left the air after 11\, M*A*S*H had won a slew of Emmys\, numerous other awards and was recognized already as one of the classic television series ever broadcast. \nThis is not a nostalgia program. Although we will watch some fabulous multimedia clips from the show\, our focus will be on how the show was created\, how M*A*S*H evolved\, and how the series influenced television and society.

DESCRIPTION:Today\, our time capsule lands 75 years ago in the tumultuous and traumatic year of 1947.  \nJackie Robinson integrated baseball and opened the door to the civil rights movement.

The transistor was invented\, opening the door to the miniaturization of electronics. \nFrances Cleveland and Al Capone left us while Hillary Clinton and Stephen King joined us. The number one movie of the year is completely forgotten\, get the number 45 movie of the year is a perennial classic! 1947 is a unique and fascinating year! \nPLEASE NOTE!

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 Medgar Evers’ 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’s students. \nThis multimedia presentation is very personal to me. You will be amazed by the story – it is jam-packed with inside information on the thrilling trial\, amazing anecdotes\, and a heavy dose of drama.  The trial of the murderer of Medgar Evers proved to be an important and emotional turning point in American law and history will come alive as you witness whether it is ever too late to do the right thing. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Walter Cronkite: And That's The Way It Is
DESCRIPTION:2016 marks the 100th birthday of Walter Cronkite. In an era when the “mainstream media” is a convenient whipping boy for any politician upset by unfavorable coverage\, it is hard to imagine that at one time a network news anchorman was voted “the most trusted man in America.”  How times have changed! \nWalter Cronkite was one of the most widely read news reporters covering World War II.  Cronkite’s reporting on the war was read by millions of Americans and he was highly respected for his clear concise prose and great ability to explain complex events. After the end of the Second World War\, he came back and worked for CBS news. \nAlthough never one of Edward R Murrow’s “boys\,”  Cronkite quickly built a sterling reputation at CBS for superb reporting\, insightful analysis\, and calm\, steady work at the anchor booth.   When the network decided to go to a 30 minute nightly national newscast\, Walter Cronkite was the logical choice to be the anchorman. He was the man America turned to to learn about the space program\, political conventions\, elections\, Vietnam\, and\, most memorably\, the murder of Pres. John F. Kennedy. \nPlease join us for a fascinating and memorable multimedia presentation looking at the life and career of one of the most respected American broadcast journalists of all time. \n Please Note: There is a fee to attend this program and registration is required\, but easy. Please contact the venue for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Natalie Wood
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Wood was one of the most popular and glamorous actresses of the 1950s and 60s. She starred in numerous classic films including\, “Miracle on 34th St.” “Rebel Without a Cause\,” “West Side Story\,” “Gypsy\,” “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice\,” “Splendor in the Grass\,” “Sex and the Single Girl\,” & “The Great Race.” Her stunning looks\, popular performances\, and her marriages and romances made her a staple on magazine covers for 20 years. \nShe’s one of the few performers to have a significant career as a child\, teenager\, and adult. Although critics were often less than impressed by her acting ability\, she set a record by becoming only the second actress to receive three Academy Awards before she turned 25 years old! (Jennifer Lawrence and Sairose Ronan have since bested that record.) \nWhen Natalie Wood was only 43\, a mother of two\, with a great career in films and television potentially still ahead\, she died under mysterious – possibly criminal – circumstances in the Pacific Ocean. \nThis fascinating multimedia public speaking presentation will explore her troubled life\, fabulous career\, and the mysterious death of Natalie Wood.
