THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS REUNITE AT THE NATIONAL COMEDY CENTER
August 2019: Jamestown, New York: One of the most enduring and controversial comedy teams in the history of television - The Smothers Brothers - have donated artifacts from their landmark 1960s show “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” to the National Comedy Center at Chautauqua Institution.
The Smothers Brothers display is now open to the public.
The duo reunited for the first time in nine years at the National Comedy Center ceremonies, unveiling a display of archival material including their iconic red suit jackets, Tom’s guitar and Dick’s bass, scripts and creative papers, a letter from President Lyndon Johnson which was read by the Smothers Brothers on their TV show, as well as legal documents from their landmark 1970s litigation against CBS in defense of their First Amendment rights.
Many of the show’s writers - including Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, and Bob Einstein - went on to forge television history.
The Smothers Brothers hosted controversial musical artists that mainstream media often avoided: Pete Seeger, The Doors, and the Jefferson Airplane to name a few. Fittingly The Beatles debuted their most politically charged recording on Tommy and Dick’s program “Revolution” - in video format - on October 6, 1968. George Harrison appeared on the show to lend his support for the duo.
The National Comedy Center is the United States’ official cultural institution dedicated to presenting the vital story of comedy and preserving its heritage for future generations, as formally designated by the U.S. Congress in 2019. Opened in August 2018 in Jamestown, New York, the museum complex offers an unprecedented visitor experience using state-of-the-art technology, interactivity and personalization to create the first true 21st Century museum environment.

Chautauqua 2017: W.E.B DU Bois
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963), played by Bill Grimmette, was a sociologist, author, historian, and a prominent Civil Rights activist of the early twentieth century. Born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in an integrated community thanks to the presence of a small, but influential free black population. Du Bois attended Fisk University, a historically black college in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1885 to 1888. After graduating from Fisk, Du Bois attended and obtained two additional degrees from Harvard University – a bachelor’s in history and a Ph.D. in sociology, making him the first African American to obtain a doctorate degree from university. In the early twentieth century, Du Bois emerged as one of the unofficial spokespersons for African Americans. In 1910, Du Bois was a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where he took the position of Director of Publicity and Research and served as editor of the monthly magazine, The Crisis. Du Bois used his platform to speak out against various issues, including the failure to integrate civil and non-civil service positions, a campaign promise of President Woodrow Wilson. By the mid-twentieth century, Du Bois became a dedicated Pan-Africanist and anti-war activist. On August 27, 1963 at the age of ninety-five, W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana. He was survived by a granddaughter whose name was DuBois Williams MacFarlane and a Great Grandson named Arthur E. MacFarlane, II.

When America Thought It Had Won But Really Hadn't: The Dark Side of Woodrow Wilson (2003)
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton, Virginia, he spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. Wilson earned a PhD in political science at Johns Hopkins University, and served as a professor and scholar at various institutions before being selected as President of Princeton University, a position he held from 1902 to 1910. In 1910, he was the New Jersey Democratic Party's gubernatorial candidate and was elected the 34th Governor of New Jersey, serving from 1911 to 1913. In the 1912 presidential election, Wilson benefited from a split in the Republican Party to win the presidency, gaining a large majority in the Electoral College and a 42% plurality of the popular vote in a four–candidate field. He was the first Southerner elected as president since Zachary Taylor in 1848,[1] and Wilson was a leading force in the Progressive Movement, bolstered by his Democratic Party's winning control of both the White House and Congress in 1912.
While in office, Wilson reintroduced the spoken State of the Union, which had been out of use since 1801. Leading the Congress that was now in Democratic hands, he oversaw the passage of progressive legislative policies unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933.[2] The Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, and the Federal Farm Loan Act were some of these new policies. Having taken office one month after ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, Wilson called a special session of Congress, whose work culminated in the Revenue Act of 1913, introducing an income tax and lowering tariffs. Through passage of the Adamson Act that imposed an 8-hour workday for railroads, he averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis.[3] Upon the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality, while pursuing a more aggressive policy in dealing with Mexico's civil war.
Wilson faced former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes in the presidential election of 1916. By a narrow margin, he became the first Democrat since Andrew Jackson elected to two consecutive terms. Wilson's second term was dominated by American entry into World War I. In April 1917, when Germany had resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and sent the Zimmermann Telegram, Wilson asked Congress to declare war in order to make the world safe for democracy. The United States conducted military operations alongside the Allies, although without a formal alliance. During the war, Wilson focused on diplomacy and financial considerations, leaving military strategy to the generals, especially General John J. Pershing. Loaning billions of dollars to Britain, France, and other Allies, the United States aided their finance of the war effort. Through the Selective Service Act, conscription sent 10,000 freshly trained soldiers to France per day by the summer of 1918 while at the same time didn't grant political sanctuary to Russia's Nicholas II and/or his family when Nicholas was deposed as czar in 1917 and sent into internal exile, where the shooting of the Romanov family occurred in 1918. On the home front, he raised income taxes, borrowing billions of dollars through the public's purchase of Liberty Bonds. He set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union cooperation, regulating agriculture and food production through the Lever Act, and granting to the Secretary of the Treasury, William McAdoo, direct control of the nation's railroad system.
In his 1915 State of the Union Address, Wilson asked Congress for what became the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, suppressing anti-draft activists. The crackdown was intensified by his Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer to include expulsion of non-citizen radicals during the First Red Scare of 1919–1920. Following years of advocacy for suffrage on the state level, in 1918 he endorsed the Nineteenth Amendment, whose ratification in 1920 provided an equal right to vote for women across the United States, over Southern opposition. Wilson staffed his government with Southern Democrats who implemented racial segregation at the Treasury, Navy and other Federal offices.[4][5] He gave department heads greater autonomy in their management.[6] Early in 1918, he issued his principles for peace, the Fourteen Points, and in 1919, following armistice, he traveled to Paris, promoting the formation of a League of Nations, and concluding the Treaty of Versailles.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living - Dale Carnegie
Dale Carnegie (1888 -- 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking and interpersonal skills. Born in poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, first published in 1936, a massive bestseller that remains popular today.
He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, a biography of Abraham Lincoln entitled Lincoln the Unknown, and several other books.
One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's reaction to them.
Biography
Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy, the second son of James William Carnagey (b. Indiana, February 1852 -- living 1910) and wife Amanda Elizabeth Harbison (b. Missouri, February 1858 -- living 1910). In his teens, though still having to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk his parents' cows, he managed to obtain an education at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. His first job after college was selling correspondence courses to ranchers; then he moved on to selling bacon, soap and lard for Armour & Company. He was successful to the point of making his sales territory of South Omaha, Nebraska, the national leader for the firm.[1]
After saving $500, Dale Carnegie quit sales in 1911 in order to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a Chautauqua lecturer. He ended up instead attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, but found little success as an actor, though it is written that he played the role of Dr. Hartley in a road show of Polly of the Circus.[citation needed] When the production ended, he returned to New York, unemployed, nearly broke, and living at the YMCA on 125th Street. It was there that he got the idea to teach public speaking, and he persuaded the Y manager to allow him to instruct a class in return for 80% of the net proceeds. In his first session, he had run out of material; improvising, he suggested that students speak about something that made them angry, and discovered that the technique made speakers unafraid to address a public audience.[2] From this 1912 debut, the Dale Carnegie Course evolved. Carnegie had tapped into the average American's desire to have more self-confidence, and by 1914, he was earning $500 - the equivalent of nearly $10,000 now - every week.
Perhaps one of Carnegie's most successful marketing moves was to change the spelling of his last name from Carnagey to Carnegie, at a time when Andrew Carnegie (unrelated) was a widely revered and recognized name. By 1916, Dale was able to rent Carnegie Hall itself for a lecture to a packed house.[3] Carnegie's first collection of his writings was Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), later entitled Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1932). His crowning achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People. The book was a bestseller from its debut in 1936[4], in its 17th printing within a few months.[3] By the time of Carnegie's death, the book had sold five million copies in 31 languages, and there had been 450,000 graduates of his Dale Carnegie Institute.[5] It has been stated in the book that he had critiqued over 150,000 speeches in his participation in the adult education movement of the time.[6] During World War I he served in the U.S. Army.[7]
His first marriage ended in divorce in 1931. On November 5, 1944, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he married Dorothy Price Vanderpool, who also had been divorced. Vanderpool had two daughters; Rosemary, from her first marriage, and Donna Dale from their marriage together.
Carnegie died at his home in Forest Hills, New York.[8] He was buried in the Belton, Cass County, Missouri, cemetery. The official biography from Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc. states that he died of Hodgkin's disease on November 1, 1955.[9]

Chautauqua 2007: George Washington Carver (Part 3)
This is a Chautauqua 2007 portrayal of George Washington Carver by actor Paxton Williams.
George Washington Carver (1864-1943) George Washington Carver was a renowned agricultural scientist as well as a distinguished educator, artist, musician, and humanitarian. Born a slave, he attended Iowa Agricultural College, where he received a Master of Science degree. In 1897 Booker T. Washington invited Carver to join the faculty of the Tuskegee Institute, where he gained an international reputation. He developed a method for crop rotation and revolutionized the economy of the South by liberating it from excessive dependence on cotton. He also discovered innovative uses for the peanut, soybean, and sweet potato and developed extensive industrial applications for agricultural crops. Carver received many honors, but did not patent or profit from his discoveries. Upon his death, he left his life savings to establish a research center at Tuskegee.
Paxton Williams serves as Executive Director of the Carver Birthplace Association in Diamond, Missouri. He is a graduate of Iowa State University, has a masters in public policy from the University of Michigan, and in 2003/2004 was a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar at the University of Birmingham, England. While in England, Williams served at the Drum, the largest arts centre in the UK dedicated to the promotion of African, Afro-Caribbean, and Asian arts and culture. Williams has portrayed George Washington Carver in fifteen US states and in England.
Chautauqua (shuh-taw-kwa) takes its name from a lake in upstate New York, beginning in 1874 as a training course for Sunday School teachers. In 1878 the Chautauqua movement expanded its philosophy of adult education to include an appreciation for the arts and humanities. By 1904, Chautauqua took to the road as part of the Lyceum movement, bringing lectures and entertainers to towns across America. By 1930, radio, movies, and automobiles had made Chautauqua largely a thing of the past.
Reborn as a public humanities program in 1976, today's Chautauquas feature scholars who take on the persona of celebrated historical figures, educating and entertaining audiences as they bring the past to life again.
