SUMMARY:Gregory Peck
DESCRIPTION:If your mental picture of Gregory Peck is that of a straight-shooting\, honest\, compassionate\, masculine but sensitive man who would always have your back and always stand up for the underdog\, you’d be very close to the truth!  While far from being a perfect man\, Gregory Peck was a good man who was deeply admired within the industry and beloved by fans. When President Nixon put the liberal Democrat Gregory Peck and his so-called “enemies list\,” Peck Ward as a badge of honor. Peck was also given a true badge of honor when President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. \nAs we talk about the films of Gregory Peck\, of course\, your mind will leap to his iconic portrayal of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” However\, Park made almost 60 films beginning in 1944 with “Days Of Glory” and concluding in 1991 with the fabulous “Other Peoples Money.” Among his great classics are “Roman Holiday\,” “The Guns of Navarone\,” “Spellbound\,” “Moby Dick\,” and Gentleman’s AGreement.” \nYou may be surprised to find that Gregory Peck was also a very committed liberal activist. He stood in favor of the Civil Rights Movement and stood against Joe McCarthy\, the war in Vietnam\, and raised money to defeat segregationist candidates in major political races. His life makes for a fascinating multimedia presentation that you will not want to miss!

SUMMARY:America's Greatest First Ladies
DESCRIPTION: \nWho were America’s Greatest First Ladies?\nNobody actually knows! \nToday\, the press and public pay great attention to the President’s spouse. However\, the Founders did not give the role of the First Lady so much as the Founding Fathers think a moment. The nation did not even widely use the title “First Lady” itself until the 1850s! Nonetheless\, our First Ladies represent a fantastic array of accomplished women\, each with a unique story and a unique place in American History. \nIn this original series\, I will present a list of my top ten favorite First Ladies. I promise that at least a couple of my choices will be women you would have never considered! \nOf course\, you know about the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt. But did you know that the lives of children\, women\, and pediatricians are made better today by the gift of First Lady Harriet Lane? Or that almost a century before Jackie Kennedy\, we had a younger First Lady who became an icon of style in the White House while raising adorable children? (Click here to read about Frances Cleveland\, pictured on the magazine cover.) \nAlthough there are so many fascinating stories in this multimedia presentation\, it is not merely a collection of trivia. Instead\, we will examine how the historical roles of women have changed from the days of marvelous Martha Washington\, an enslaver\, to modern Michelle Obama\, the descendent of enslaved people\, and Dr. Jill Biden\, the first First Lady with a doctorate! \n  \nCLICK HERE FOR FREE REGISTRATION! \nTHIS IS A FREE HYBRID EVENT – YOU CAN ATTEND IN PERSON OR ONLINE! \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:JFK - A Life
DESCRIPTION:JOHN F. KENNEDY – A LIFE\n \nJFK is one of our most beloved and well-known Presidents. However\, much of what we “know” about John Fitzgerald Kennedy is fragmentary: his dalliances with women\, his heroism in the aftermath of PT-109\, his glamorous wife\, and his horrific death. We know parts of the Kennedy story\, but it can be hard to separate myth from history when it comes to a man as complex as JFK! \nIn this fast-moving\, insightful and fascinating multimedia presentation\, you will be mesmerized by the details of: \nHis very dysfunctional parents \nJFK’s complex medical problems \nHis unusual schooling\, including missing large chunks due to serious illnesses \nJFK’s actions before\, during\, and after the sinking of PT-109 \nHis political career \nJFK and women \nHis complicated marriage. \nThe Rat Pack And JFK \nThe Assassination \nAnd so much more!
