SUMMARY:LBJ and Civil Rights (AM)
DESCRIPTION:Lyndon Johnson is one of the most complex men I’ve had to be president. He was capable of great cruelty and insensitivity. However\, as President  LBJ became a tireless champion of the poor\, the marginalized\, and the oppressed within the USA. This multimedia program covers the fascinating evolution of Lyndon Johnson’s thinking about the government’s role in guaranteeing freedom of equality for African-Americans. LBJ and civil rights may seem like an unlikely tandem. But ultimately\, other than Abraham Lincoln\, no president did more to advance the cause of African-Americans than Lyndon Baines Johnson! \nLBJ and Civil Rights\nWe will begin with a quick overview of Johnson’s personal sympathies regarding helping the poor and contrast it with his votes in the House of Representatives against civil rights legislation. Beginning in 1957\, LBJ\, as majority leader\, became a tentative ally of the civil rights movement. As president\, LBJ used all of his political skill and muscle to get Congress to pass two landmark bills that reshaped justice and upended the electoral map in ways that are still important. \nThe Civil Rights Act of 1964 finally ended legal segregation in America. The Voting Rights Act  (1965) established the government as a powerful ally in guaranteeing African-Americans in the South would have the right to vote. Few presidents have ever passed two more significant\, breathtaking pieces of legislation. They reshaped American expectations about race. \nThe Election of 1964\, on the surface\, does not seem particularly interesting. Lyndon Johnson crushed Republican Barry Goldwater in a massive\, historic landslide. However\, that election began a process of changing the political parties that impacts us today! \nI hope you will join us for this thought-provoking history program! \nTHIS PROGRAM WILL BE LIVE ON ZOOM ONLY. \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:The Election of 1992
DESCRIPTION:Bill Clinton stood politics on its ear in 1992! \n1992  presented one of the most unusual\, exciting\, and important elections in modern American history.  After 12 consecutive years of Republican presidents\, the upstart from Arkansas came out of nowhere to unseat a patrician president.  Add to the next the involvement of a dynamic\, controversial\, and unbelievably wealthy third-party candidate\, Ross Perot\, and you have the makings of an endlessly fascinating election. \n  \nThis fast-moving multimedia presentation will feature the inside stories\, little-known anecdotes\, and electrifying events of the election of 1992.  from the moment Bill Clinton played saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show to the moment George HW Bush checked his watch\, seemingly bored during the debate\, this campaign provided endless fascination.  Its nearest comparison would be the three-way election of 1912 that saw Woodrow Wilson split the votes of Republican voters and capture the presidency for the Democrats after having been out of office for many years.  We will also see how the 1992 election led to the rise of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama and changed politics forever.
