SUMMARY:1976 - Life In America Fifty Years Ago (AM)
DESCRIPTION:Our popular “Time Capsule” series returns! \nFifty years ago\, America celebrated its Bicentennial with parades\, fireworks\, and a renewed sense of national pride—but 1976 was much more than a birthday party. It was a year of political change in the aftermath of Watergate\, remarkable scientific breakthroughs\, unforgettable sports moments\, and some of the most enduring music\, television\, and movies ever created. \nJoin Presidential award-winning historian Barry Bradford as we step back into America in 1976. We’ll revisit the presidential election\, celebrate famous people born that year—including Alexei Navalny and Reese Witherspoon—and remember those we lost\, such as Howard Hughes and Agatha Christie. \nWe’ll relive the year’s biggest headlines\, from America’s Bicentennial celebration and one of the closest presidential elections in modern history to the founding of Apple Computer. Along the way\, we’ll explore the fashions\, fads\, prices\, technology\, toys\, and cultural moments that defined our nation’s 200th birthday year. \nWhether you lived through 1976 or simply wish you had\, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for one of the most memorable years in modern American history. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
