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 (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.

SUMMARY:Herbert Hoover
DESCRIPTION:Very few people have entered the presidency with more experience\, greater intelligence\, a higher level of business success\, or deeper personal integrity than Herbert Hoover. His complete failure as a president he’s clearly his indication of being the right person at the wrong time. \nThis fascinating multimedia biography presentation will examine how Herbert Hoover\, born in a two room house in rural Iowa became one of the most successful businessman and most admired Americans by the 1920s. We will also look at his presidency and the aftermath. This is a story you’ve probably never heard before and it is surprising at every turn. \nCLICK HERE FOR FREE REGISTRATION \nThe presentation is on Zoom. Starting time is 10:30 Central Time!
