SUMMARY:Adlai Stevenson
DESCRIPTION:Adlai Stevenson II was one of the most remarkable political figures of the second half of the 20th century. Although his entire career as an elected public official consisted of one term as the governor of Illinois. He ran unsuccessfully for president twice\, losing by a landslide each attempt. Yet\, so deep was his popularity and widespread his influence that the Democrats considered nominating him a third time for the presidency. It is exceedingly rare for a man trounced in a presidential election to get a second shot at the office. It is even rare for someone to have lost twice and still be considered one of the greatest stars in the history of his political party. Such is the influence of Adlai Stevenson. \nThis fascinating multimedia presentation will look at Stevenson’s roots in downstate Illinois as the son and grandson of important citizens of the state. Click here to read about one of the most unique stories in his young life – the time that Adlai Stevenson actually took the life of a young girl with a rifle. \nWe will follow Adlai Stenson’s government service through World War II and look at the personal qualities that led the Democrats to make him their standard bearer twice. We will conclude with a look at his inspiring and effective leadership as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations during the Cuban Missile Crisis. \nAdlai Stenson’s life story is inspiring and motivating while still challenging and complex. His wit\, wisdom\, and worldview make for an intriguing presentation.

SUMMARY:Brown v Board - SCOTUS Transforms America

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!
