SUMMARY:Harry Belafonte (AM)
DESCRIPTION:This has become one of my favorite new programs. And it is undoubtedly one of the most surprising programs I have ever researched! \nWhen I began my research\, I thought I would talk about a popular entertainer from the 1950s who introduced calypso music to America. \nAs I dug deeper\, I quickly realized that Harry Belafonte was one of the civil rights movement’s most important and influential leaders. In early  1968\, Johnny Carson turned over the Tonight Show to Harry Belafonte for an entire week! The “sit-in\,” as it was called\, featured Belafonte interviewing guests\, including Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King! \nYou’ll find out that Harry Belafonte was one of Martin Luther King’s closest friends and most trusted advisers\, deeply involved in the civil rights movement at every turn. \nSo whether you prefer my “straight history” presentations or my popular culture presentations\, this one is for you! \nThis makes for a unique multimedia presentation. \nWe will watch fabulous clips of Harry Belafonte performing spectacular calypso numbers –  and we will also hear him criticize Barack Obama for not doing enough to help African-Americans! \nI urge you to sign up for this program. There is no other entertainer or activist who combines the unique characteristics\, charismatic personality\, and thoughtful philosophy of Harry Belafonte! \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:Sid Caesar - The Meteoric Career Of A Comic Genius
DESCRIPTION:In the opinion of many TV critics\, the Sid Caesar programs were the funniest \, best-written and most creative shows in the history of television comedy. Caesar’s writing crew (including Carl Reiner\, Woody Allen\, Mel Brooks\, Neil Simon\, and Selma Diamond( is widely regarded as the most talented staff in the history of television. \nThe sheer talent of Sid Caesar is overwhelming – as  Carl Reiner\, his writer\, and co-star\, put it: \n“Sid Caesar set the template for everybody\,” Reiner told KNX-AM in Los Angeles. “He was without a doubt the greatest sketch comedian-monologist that television ever produced. He could ad-lib. He could do anything that was necessary to make an audience laugh.” \n \nFor all his accolades\, however\, Sid Caesar was a deeply troubled man who saw a brilliant career waste away in the wake of his addictions. After his TV programs ended\, his fame evaporated as his demons challenged him\,  It took intensive self-therapy and personal courage for him to turn his life around. And did he ever!  By the time of his death\, he was once again rewarded with the respect and reverence his comic genius deserved. \nThis unique multimedia presentation will explore all sides of Sid Caesar. You will laugh uproariously at the rare video clips and find yourself mesmerized by the intense struggle of the king of Comedy. \n  \n  \n

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.

SUMMARY:Jewish Heroes Of The Civil Rights Movement (PM)
DESCRIPTION:Some people incorrectly think of the civil rights movement as African-American people versus white people. \nThe truth is that many white people\, including many Jewish Americans\, provided physical\, emotional\, and monetary support to the movement. It would be more accurate to describe the civil rights battles of the 1950s and 60s as a battle between good and evil. \nThis inspiring and fascinating multimedia presentation will examine how Jewish Americans committed themselves to Dr. King’s goals of freedom\, voting rights\, community\, and an end to discrimination. We will examine \n“King repeatedly used the Jewish experience as a model of success over oppression. He respected and admired the values taught by Judaism and\, as a deeply religious man\, felt inspired by the Torah itself. He was sure that an alliance between blacks and Jews was fundamental to progress in civil rights. King felt a sense of kinship with the Jewish people and welcomed — even expected – – Jewish support and felt let down when it was not forthcoming.” Rabbi Marc Schneier \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00.

His standup routine influenced a generation of comics. In fact\, his “Abraham Lincoln Talks To A Public Relations Man” bit was so influential that it became a central plot point on the hit TV show “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” And in the early 1960s\, his comedy albums set sales records the redefined the medium \nSo how did a soft-spoken\, mild-mannered\, somewhat nerdy accountant from Chicago become one of the most beloved stars in American history?

SUMMARY:Cary Grant
DESCRIPTION:Cary Grant was one of the most iconic stars in the entire history of classic Hollywood cinema. The man who was born Archibald Leach\, made more than 50 films as a leading man and yet never won a competitive Academy Award!  Cary Grant was the personification of a leading man movie star. Handsome\, talented\, suave\, debonair\, and a star in any film genre\, his place in Hollywood history is assured. \nCary Grant starred in some of the greatest screwball/romantic comedies of the ‘Classic Hollywood era. Films including “My Favorite Wife\,” “The Awful Truth\, “Bringing up Baby\,” “His Girl Friday\,” & “The Philadelphia Story”  are just the tip of the iceberg for his great career in light comedy. \nIn the 1940s\, Grant made several very well-received action pictures. \nAnd then\, in the 1950s\, Cary Grant transitioned into dramatic roles. He was particularly brilliant in “North by Northwest\,” one of Hitchcock’s greatest films. The classic tearjerker1957 “An Affair To Remember” is yet another great example of Grant’s abilities as a dramatic actor. \nThis fast-paced presentation is loaded with film clips and interesting anecdotes about the long\, legendary\, and laudable career of the great Cary Grant. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Life Of FDR - A Multimedia Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The Life Of FDR\n \nUnderstanding the life of FDR is like taking a sonogram of the USA.  Franklin Roosevelt transformed the United States with optimism\, vigor\, vision\, and skill.  The effects are still being felt and still being debated today.  And he did it all from a wheelchair. \nOptimism was one of FDR’s greatest strengths and most incredible gifts.  He inspired others to be positive\, even during the darkest days of the Second World War and during the depths of the Great Depression. FDR was the first President since Lincoln to seek out the advice of African American advisors routinely. He was the first President to appoint a woman to the cabinet. Although FDR was unable to end the misery of the Great Depression\, his policies definitely helped relieve the suffering of many people.  Just as important\, he filled them with optimism. \nWhen the Second World War loomed\, he had the vision to appoint George C. Marshall to head our armed forces – and then worked tirelessly to make sure Marshall had everything he needed to secure victory in Africa\, Europe\, and Asia. \nWoody Guthrie wrote a song called “Dear Mrs. Roosevelt\,” which contained the lines: \n“I voted for him lots of times \nAnd I’d vote for him again!” \nThe life of FDR is not without blemish. He was unfaithful to his wife and capable of being duplicitous.  His treatment of Japanese Americans is very controversial.  So is his reaction to the Holocaust.  All of his complexities and accomplishments will come to life in this non-partisan multimedia presentation. We will explore his family history\, his marriage\, his faith and all the forces that shaped the mind of one of the great Americans. \n

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.

SUMMARY:Election of 1932 (PM)
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. And then they also lead to the great depression. All of 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
