SUMMARY:The History Of Presidential Impeachment
DESCRIPTION:James Madison and the Founding Fathers were deeply concerned about what would\nhappen if a president lost his moral bearing and committed crimes while serving as chief executive of the land. Their concern led them to include impeachment in the Constitution as a necessary remedy for Congress to remove a corrupt president. The history of presidential impeachment is fascinating and instructive. In this multimedia presentation\, we will look at each of the four presidential impeachments. In this multimedia presentation\, we will look at each of the four presidential impeachments that went to trial. \nFirst\, we will look at why first we will look at why the 1868 Republican House Of Representatives impeached Democrat Andrew Johnson for willfully and blatantly violating a law\, the hotly contested Tenure of Office Act. \nNext\, we will examine why the 1998 Republican House Of Representatives impeached Democratic President Bill Clinton for lying under oath tour grand jury after a sex scandal. \nFinally\, we will look at the two impeachment trials of Donald Trump. As the only President to be impeached a second time (no one else came close)\, we learned about impeachment during his two trials will have significant ramifications for the future. \n\nThe first\, a mostly partisan matter\, centered on alleged corruption in the Presidents dealing with a foreign power to win an election. Although impeached by a Democratic House Of Representatives\, Trump became the first President ever to have a member of his party vote for his conviction\, The second impeachment of Pres. Trump was the most bipartisan in history. The second impeachment of Pres. Trump was the most bipartisan in history. It’s stemmed from his actions when. It’s derived from his actions when domestic terrorists invaded the capital building in Washington\, DC. \nYou won’t want to miss this multimedia presentation! \n

SUMMARY:Understanding The Election Of 2008
DESCRIPTION:Understanding The Election Of 2008\nIf the election of 2008 had been written as a movie script\, it could not have been more exciting. We faced the possibility that we would elect the first woman to the presidency\, the first African-American to the presidency\, or perhaps one of America’s greatest war heroes to the presidency. The nomination battles were thrilling\, the personalities were oversized\, and just when it couldn’t seem to get any more fascinating\, Sen. John McCain chose obscure Alaska  Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate! \nIn this insightful\, nonpartisan multimedia presentation\, you will learn about the backgrounds of each of the campaigns and candidates in the election of 2008. You’ll learn the very different election strategies that each pursued. We will look at the role of technology\, social media\, race\, television\, and the debates as factors in deciding an election like no other. The election of 2008 provides us a fascinating glimpse into the future of campaigning.   \nWe’ll see how social media and voter tracking began to replace conventional television advertising as a means of motivating voters.  This effort led to long lines of voters across the country. We’ll also examine how one party began to utilize restrictive voting laws as a desperate means to try and ensure victory through voter suppression.  \nThe career politician and war hero against a candidate with a painfully thin resume; a vice-presidential candidate with a penchant for gaffes versus one seemingly in way over her head.  This presentation on the election of 2008 is not to be missed. \n

SUMMARY:Harding And Coolidge - Republican Presidents Of The 1920s
DESCRIPTION:After  World War I ended\, America turned away from the liberal progressive era of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and made a sharp turn toward conservatism. In 1920\, the Republicans nominated for president Warren G Harding\, an amiable Sen. from Ohio who promised “A return to normalcy.” For eight years\, the Republicans controlled the presidency\, Congress\, and the national debate. Within twelve fascinating years\, the economy had gone from boom to bust\, and the “Roaring Twenties” had given way to the Great Depression. The seemingly perennial GOP majority evaporated with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Who were the Republican presidents whose pro-business\, low tax\, conservative presidencies led to an explosion and then the demolition of the American economy? They were very dissimilar in their backgrounds\, each with a fascinating back story that you will learn about in this unique multimedia presentation. \n

SUMMARY:The Integration Of Central High School - Little Rock\, 1957
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 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 had 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.”

SUMMARY:The Election Of 1960
DESCRIPTION:The election of 1960 was one of the most dramatic elections in American history. Until the halted recount in the election of 2000\, it was the closest  Presidential election in our lifetimes.  This riveting multimedia presentation features amazing anecdotes\, entry insights\, and numerous fascinating film clips to help put this most momentous campaign into perspective. \nRichard M. Nixon was coming off of eight years serving as vice president to Dwight D. Eisenhower\, one of the most popular Republican presidents of all time. Nixon had experience in domestic and foreign policy and was a veteran of many tough campaigns. Still very young\, he offered a new face for the Republican Party’s future. He became the first sitting vice president to earn his party’s nomination since John C Breckenridge exactly 100 years earlier. \n  \nJohn F. Kennedy was only a few years younger than Richard Nixon\, whom he considered something of a friend. Kennedy was seen as a lightweight in the Senate\, according to the Democrat’s Majority Leader\, Lyndon Johnson. JFK was criticized for proposing no major legislation during his Senate tenure. \n Significantly\, John Kennedy often missed long stretches of time in the Senate due to surgeries and hospitalizations. However\, the Massachusetts senator was a war hero\, handsome\, charismatic\, and a best-selling author. He had to defeat several older and much better-known Democrats (including Adlai Stevenson\, Lyndon Johnson\, and Hubert Humphrey to earn the nomination. \nAnd then came the campaign for president! Nixon’s national reputation vs. Kennedy’s cool and charisma. With polls showing just a slight Nixon lead throughout the summer\, the two men agreed to something that had never happened before: a series of presidential debates. Those debates turned the course of the election and changed politics. They demonstrated the importance of television in future campaigns. Throw into the mix the rest of Martin Luther King Jr.\, Nixon’s phlebitis\, Kennedy’s mafia connections\, mystery votes in Illinois\, and odd campaign choices by Nixon\, and you have the makings of a fascinating campaign! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Gideon\, Escobedo\, Miranda - Protecting The Accused
DESCRIPTION:  \nMiranda rights have become so familiar that most of us can recite them from memory – even though we have never been accused of a crime! \nThe “Warren Court” of the 1960s was tasked with interpreting the Bill Of Rights for an America that James Madison could not have envisioned. They revolutionized our understanding of the rights of defendants and expanded our understanding of the Constitution. \nThe “Roberts Court” of today has the same problem.  How does the Constitution apply in situations that did not exist in 1787? When the Founders wrote the Constitution\, they did not envision the need to search automobiles for cocaine\, stop hijackers from bringing shoe bombs on planes\, or deal with electronic surveillance from drones. \nIn this fascinating presentation\, you will learn the background and impact of three of the most important cases in Supreme Court history.

SUMMARY:1861 The Civil War Year By Year - Reflections On Amercia's Deadliest War
DESCRIPTION:1860 & 1861 The Civil War Year By Year\nEvery Wednesday in June\, we will look at a different year in the Civil War! The Declaration Of Independence stated\, “We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal…” The Civil War tested whether or not we really meant it. In 1860 and 1861 the Civil War began. \nThis exciting four-week series will trace the history of the Civil War. In 1860\, our nation faced one of the most crucial elections in our history.  Four great candidates stood for office.  The only real issue was slavery.  Today we see the practice of kidnapping human beings and holding them against their will as abhorrent.  In 1860\, the economy and social structure of an entire region of the United States was built on the premise that kidnapping and bondage were acceptable means of making money.  Our four-week series begins with an in-depth look at the Lincoln Douglas debates of 1858\, the election of 1860\, and the secession of the Confederate States. \nIn 1861 the United States Civil War began in earnest.  We saw American citizens in revolt against the Constitution while holding millions of people against their will.  We saw personal tragedies unfold as the tender-hearted Abraham Lincoln saw the body of the first American patriot killed by the rebels brought back to Washington DC.  The body was that of Elmer Ellsworth.  He was a close friend of Lincoln’s. The death of Elmer Ellsworth represents the personal nature of this deadly fight. \nPeople happily brought picnic baskets to watch the First Battle Of Bull Run unfold.  By the end of the battle\, America knew was not glamorous and victory would be difficult. Among the topics to be covered are the election of 1860\, the secession of the terrorist groups\, and the first year of the Civil War. \nWe will explore how in 1861 the Civil War began a great test of America’s moral purpose\, military strength and future direction began. \nToday the battlefields of the Civil War are quiet. \n \nWe will see how they were the sites of the greatest struggle in American history. \n
