SUMMARY:Virtual Fieldtrip of a New Memorial to Voting Rights
DESCRIPTION:Follow along this virtual field trip to explore “A Path Forward\,” a new memorial to voting rights history in Salt Lake City created by artists Kelsey Harrison and Jason Manley. Did you know Utah women were the first in the United States to vote under an equal suffrage law? This sculpture shares that history in the very spot where women cast their first votes in 1870. It pays homage to those first steps toward equality while reminding us of all that’s left to do to ensure that everyone has a say in our government. \nUtah women’s history nonprofit Better Days presented this memorial as a gift to the State of Utah to commemorate the 19th Amendment centennial in August 2020\, as well as the 150th anniversary of Utah women’s first votes and the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

SUMMARY:The Safe and Fair Election Pledge
DESCRIPTION:A large majority of Americans want a healthier democracy\, more collaborative governance\, and elections that are both secure and widely accessible.

Today\, view the Team Democracy video; and learn about (and sign) the Safe and Fair Election Pledge. Then ask your elected representatives and candidates to sign it too. Let them know that earning your support at the polls depends on their commitment to support the kind of enduring\, healthy\, resilient\, inclusive democracy that has guaranteed Americans’ liberties and freedoms for the last two and a half centuries.

SUMMARY:Virtual Session: Los Angeles\, An Emerging Megalopolis
DESCRIPTION:Bill Keene\, a lecturer in history\, urban studies\, and architecture\, examines developments from the 1930s onward that shaped Los Angeles as a magnet for population migration and a major center of industry. \nEmergent airplane manufacturing during the 1930s established the foundation for the explosive growth to meet the demands of WWII. Shipbuilding\, aircraft production\, and other wartime industry enabled Los Angeles to become a leading industrial area in the postwar period. \nDuring the 1930s\, motion pictures and radio became factors in the daily lives of millions. With the development of television\, Hollywood became a presence in most homes\, further enhancing the visions of the Southern California filled with endless sun\, beautiful beaches\, and playgrounds of the glamorous. \nThe postwar boom brought more than a million new residents to Los Angeles alone\, seeking the lifestyle seen in the movies and TV and briefly experienced by the GIs who came through on their way to war and those who came to work in industry supporting the war effort. \nAlong with new population\, new challenges emerged or resurfaced. Air pollution became a major problem\, shadowing Sunny California’s image. Racial tensions grew. The city saw the expulsion of Japanese residents in 1942 and major outbreaks of violence across the decades\, from the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943 to the Los Angeles Riots of 1992\, with racial issues remaining a problem today. \nKeene also traces how during the same period\, Los Angeles emerged on the national and world stages as a major force economically and culturally. That status was reflected in the development of institutions including the County Museum of Art\, the Norton Simon and Getty museums\, and the Music Center (with its Disney Concert Hall)\, and the major-league baseball\, football\, and basketball teams that call it home.

SUMMARY:Presidents in Pop Culture: Reverence\, Respect\, Ridicule
DESCRIPTION:Every president is the central player in the drama called America\, and it’s increasingly crucial for presidents to generate a positive image in popular culture. But the respect and even reverence that once surrounded the presidency have seriously eroded\, replaced by skepticism\, cynicism\, and often ridicule\, making governing all the more difficult. \nVeteran White House correspondent\, historian\, and author Ken Walsh presents an overview of how the presidency and presidents\, both real and fictional\, are portrayed in the movies\, news media\, social media\, and on television entertainment programs such as “Saturday Night Live\,” late-night talk shows\, and “The West Wing.” \nWalsh looks at how the presidents who are portrayed the most positively in popular culture—who participate in and understand it—sometimes can bond strongly with the public and are the most effective leaders. Of course\, some fail\, and he also turns his eye to them. Among the presidents in the pop culture spotlight are Franklin D. Roosevelt\, John F. Kennedy\, Richard Nixon\, Ronald Reagan\, Bill Clinton\, George W. Bush\, Barack Obama\, Donald Trump\, and Joe Biden.
