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.

SUMMARY:Freedom on Paper: An Exhibition of “Free Negro Registers” from the Virginia Untold Project
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Juneteenth\, the holiday that commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States\, visitors to the Library of Virginia will have the rare opportunity to view a selection of “Free Negro Registers” displayed in the lobby and to learn about the Library’s efforts to digitize\, preserve\, and make them more accessible.

The Virginia Untold project provides digital access to collections from Virginia localities relating to enslaved and free Black individuals prior to 1866. \nThe exhibition of records runs through Monday\, June 27\, 2022. \n\n
