Chautauqua 2007: Upton Sinclair (Part 3) This is a Chautauqua 2007 portrayal of Upton Sinclair by actor Doug Mishler. Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) Born in Baltimore, Upon Sinclair was an American novelist, essayist, short story writer, and social activist. His most famous work, The Jungle, written in 1906 about conditions in the Chicago meatpacking industry, led to the implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act. With money from that novel, Sinclair established his short-lived socialist community, Helicon Home Colony, in 1906 at Englewood, N.J. Sinclair was in and out of the American Socialist party. He ran as a Socialist for Governor of California in 1926 and 1930, and as a Democrat in 1934. In the 1940s his popular "Lanny Budd" series of novels were published, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1943 for Dragon's Teeth about the rise of Nazism in Germany. He was a lifelong proponent of social equity and an opponent of big business. Doug Mishler holds a Ph.D. in American culture from the University of Nevada, Reno, and has taught at the University of Nevada and Western Washington University. As a public historian, he has written a history of the Ringling Brothers Circus and has consulted on several public television and Chautauqua programs. Since 1996, Mishler has appeared at the Maryland Humanities Council Chautauqua as P. T. Barnum, Theodore Roosevelt, William Lloyd Garrison, and Henry Ford. He also portrays Ernie Pyle, Billy Sunday, William Clark, Andrew Carnegie, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas Hart Benton. 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.

Chautauqua 2006: Henry Ford (Part 1) This is a Chautauqua 2006 portrayal of Henry Ford by actor Doug Mishler Henry Ford's (1863-1947) revolutionary five-dollar, eight-hour day for workers, inexpensive automobiles, moving assembly line, and amazing command of technology made him one of the 1920s most popular and important figures. His public persona, however, became tainted by repeated occurrences of corruption, brutality, and anti-Semitism. A crusader for prohibition and for the abolition of smoking and jazz, Ford fought against what he saw as "moral decline" in the nation. Although a genius of the modern world, Ford can also be described as one of the last reactionaries trying to hold that world back. Doug Mishler holds a Ph.D. in American culture from the University of Nevada, Reno, and has taught at the University of Nevada and Western Washington University. As a public historian, he has written a history of the Ringling Brothers Circus and has consulted on several public television and Chautauqua programs.

Chautauqua 2006: Paul Robeson (Part 1) This is a Chautauqua 2006 portrayal of Paul Robeson by actor Marvin Jefferson. Paul Robeson (1898-1976) epitomized the 20th-century Renaissance man. An exceptional athlete, actor, singer, scholar, and author, Robeson was valedictorian at Rutgers University and earned a law degree from Columbia University. He ultimately opted to pursue an acting career, and was especially noted for his rendition of "Ol' Man River" in the musical Show Boat and for his groundbreaking lead performance in Shakespeare's Othello. In time, however, Robeson's social activism eclipsed his career as a performer and his radical political beliefs eroded his mainstream popularity. Marvin Jefferson has an extensive background as a professional actor and since 1997 has portrayed Paul Robeson in every school in the Newark, New Jersey, school district. In 2005, he appeared as Robeson in the Colorado Chautauqua.

Chautauqua 2007: Cesar Chavez This is a Chautauqua 2007 portrayal of Cesar Chavez by actor Fred Blanco. Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) Cesar Chavez was an American farm worker, labor leader, and civil rights activist who co-founded what became the United Farm Workers. He lead successful strikes and boycotts that resulted in the first industry-wide labor contracts in the history of American agriculture. His efforts brought about the passage of the groundbreaking 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act to protect farm workers, which remains that only law in the national that protects farm workers' right to unionize. Chavez used peaceful tactics such as fasts, boycotts, strikes, and pilgrimages, and at the age of 61, he endured a 36-day "Fast for life" to highlight the harmful impact of pesticides on farm workers and their children. Fred Blanco has been active in the Los Angeles theatre community for over fifteen years. He studied theatre at California State University, Northridge, and has performed with a number of theatre organizations in Southern California. He is a member of the "Living Legends" troupe, whose purpose is to promote and preserve American history through live performance. Blanco spent two years researching the life of Cesar Chavez and performs his one-man show at schools, libraries, and theatres. Tags: Chautauqua Maryland Humanities Council Cesar Chavez Fred Blanco |

Chautauqua 2005: Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. (Part 1) J. Holmes Armstead, Jr. portrays Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. during Chautauqua 2005 on the Germantown campus of Montgomery College. When United States Air Force Lieutenant General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. retired from active military service in 1970, he could reflect on a remarkable career since taking the oath as a cadet on the Plain at West Point in 1932. He was the first African-American to graduate from West Point in the twentieth century; he was the first African-American to serve as a General's aide de camp in the Army; he was the first African-American to command fighter planes in a combat unit; and he was the first African-American to be an Air Force General officer. In fact, Davis could claim so many firsts that one might relate his life as a litany of numbers, but such a list would belie the nature of the conflicts and struggles involving war and democracy during his life. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. was born on December 18, 1912 in Washington, DC to Benjamin and Elnora Davis. Davis's father was a career soldier who enlisted in the Army during the Spanish-American War, became one of only two black officers in the Army in 1901, and eventually rose to command an all-black Cavalry brigade. Read more about Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. at http://www.mdhc.org/resources/chautauqua2005.pdf 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.

A Chautauqua Books review by David Leitch. Independent political analyst and historian David Leitch calls attention to THREE IMPORTANT POINTS that Michael Hudson made 36 years ago. Those insights were picked up by Washington insiders, central bankers (i.e. those who control the Federal Reserve) and the U.S. Treasury Dept. POINT ONE: THE GOLD STANDARD (WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? When Hudson explained what would happen after the U.S. in 1971 went off the gold standard in, only Washington insiders, including central bankers, were paying any attention. When cold-warrior Herman Kahn of the Hudson Institute heard Michael Hudson speak, he hired him on the spot. His kind of insights should remain insider stuff. David Leitch tells the story: "Hudson was invited to speak to audiences in the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve. He told them, 'When you eliminate the gold standard, you [remove] any restrictions, you completely take the breaks off any kinds of surpluses, either financial or in trade,' Hudson told the bureaucrats: You don't have this claim on your gold reserves to keep your balance of payments in line.' Hudson said that he thought people in the Federal Reserve and Treasury [and others] within the U.S. government would say, 'Oh, yes, we can't do that.' But he said they [reacted], 'Oh, yes!' And the lights went on. They realized that they could achieve dominance through debt, rather than being a creditor, because [the U.S.] was quickly becoming a debtor nation. (The U.S. didn't officially become one until 1986.). They realized they could control the global economy and the global order by being a debtor." In other words, Leitch adds, "The US gets a free ride... All of the surplus dollars come back into the US economy through the purchase of Treasury Bills and the US uses them to finance war and its budget deficits." POINT TWO: SUPER-IMPERIALISM'S ORIGINS Colonial imperialism gave way to 'super imperialism,' according to Hudson, after WWI (1914-1918). The U.S. entered the war in 1917 with special conditions, calling itself an 'associate,' not an 'ally'. In this way, the U.S. government collected war-induced debt from both 'victor' and vanquished. Britain and the other indebted colonial powers lost their colonies. POINT THREE: IDEOLOGICAL CLIQUES TAKE & HOLD POWER IN THE U.S. The drive to dominance, enforcing world indebtedness and debt collection, was not a product of industrialists or even bankers, Hudson says, but an ideological grouping that controlled government. Hudson maintains that bankers were willing to forgive debts of the allies (they would have made quite as much money, he says), but not the governmental apparatus in charge. In effect, much like the Nazi regime under Hitler, the clique is able to flood key industrialists (munitions etc.) with contracts. Hudson maintains that anti-communist ideologues and opportunists after WW II sold the cold-war agenda to eager arms manufacturers etc. and maintained hegemony until the Soviet Union was finally obliterated. Zbigniew Brzezinski is an example of an old cold warrior (a Bilderberger and an Obama adviser). As is readily pointed out, a new enemy needed for the clique to maintain power. The 'Arab terrorist' was made to order; or rather, Hollywood-made-to-order. With the new clique now fully installed, any enemy of Israel's was now an enemy of the United States. It appears to be pretty much as Greg Felton says in his book, Host and the Parasite (How Israel's Fifth Column Consumed America). Hudson's book was republished by Pluto Press in 2003.

Chautauqua 2003: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Part 2) Chautauqua Portrayal of Franklin D. Roosevelt by actor Ed Beardsley. Ed Beardsley is a veteran of thirty-two years of teaching United States history at the University of South Carolina. He has published three books and twenty articles on the history of American medicine and science, and in the classroom he has received several university-wide teaching awards. Beginning in the 1980s, Beardsley wrote and produced a number of one-man shows -- including Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- which he performed both for his classes as well as for adult and student groups in twenty states. Trained originally as a chemical engineer, Beardsley turned to American history, in which he earned a PhD from the University of Wisconsin. 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 Chautau¬qua 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. Families gather for our Chautauqua under starry skies in a big open tent. To see the full video of Franklin D. Roosevelt, please contact the Maryland Humanities Council at mdhc.org Tags: Franklin D.
